Abstract

The incorporation of new and innovative technologies in the field of dentistry has generated significant advances and optimization of operating times in practice. This study had a quantitative approach and descriptive design, a questionnaire was applied to 220 students to evaluate the perception of Artificial Intelligence in dentistry students from a university in southern Perú. 45.9 % of those surveyed stated that they had a perception of agreement with AI in the field of dentistry, followed by 43.2 % who declared that they had no knowledge about AI; a statistically significant difference was found when measuring the association of per-ception about AI with sex (X2(gl:2; p = 0.009)), age (X2(gl:2; p = 0.015)) and academic cycle (X2(gl:2; p = 0.016)). The majority of students had a perception in agreement with AI; this perception was associated with male students, students over 21 years of age, and students in clinical academic cycles.
