Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the awareness levels of actively practicing dentists in Türkiye regarding artificial intelligence (AI)-related ethical issues, data security, anonymization, and legal regulations. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional online survey (Google Forms) used a 12-item questionnaire (4 demographics; 8 awareness domains) rated on a five-point Likert scale. Participants were recruited via snowball sampling. Descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc tests were applied (p 0.05). Conclusion: Dentists demonstrated varying levels of awareness across domains, with higher awareness reported in academic settings. Experience-related patterns differed by domain, indicating the need for focused educational strategies addressing legal and ethical aspects of AI-supported dental practice.
