Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the needs of dentists, dental technicians, dental hygienists, and dental-related workers in terms of dental computer-aided design (CAD) software and artificial intelligence (AI). Based on a factor analysis, 57 survey items were assigned to six categories: (a) considerations when purchasing dental CAD software; (b) prosthesis design process; (c) dental CAD function; (d) use of AI dental CAD crown and denture design; (e) impact of AI; and (f) improvements in AI features. Overall, 93 participants were included in the study, and the reliability of the resultant survey data was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Statistically significant factors in each category were identified using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's honestly significant difference test (alpha = 0.05). The results revealed that design quality, design convenience and reproducibility, margin line setting, and automatic margin setting were considered most important in their respective categories (p < 0.05). There were also significant differences in the importance of certain items, such as branding importance and functional diversity, among different dental personnel groups (p < 0.05). Design speed and convenience were also found to be more important to dentists and dental hygienists compared to other dental personnel (p < 0.05). The importance of specific survey items varied significantly based on age, dental personnel, and work experience groups. Dental personnel, such as dentists and dental technicians, assigned greater importance to certain factors, such as branding, functional diversity, design speed, and compatibility with CAM equipment, compared to other occupational groups.
