\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBackground\/Objectives: Standard dental practice is being reshaped by digital technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as one of the most challenging recent innovations. Methods: The present study assessed the interest of Romanian dentists in the integration of AI into their current practice through an anonymous questionnaire distributed to 200 respondents. The questionnaire addressed the integration of AI in dentistry by analyzing the following areas of intervention: stages of patient care, perceived impact on the doctor\u2013patient relationship, data security, implementation costs, and the legislative framework. Results: The results showed that 53.6% of dentists reported low difficulties, 37.3% reported moderate difficulties, and 9.1% reported high difficulties with using digital tools. Dentists\u2019 reported willingness to adopt AI-based solutions was as follows: 58.6% were very willing, 30% were moderately willing, and only 11.4% were not very willing. Currently, 80.5% already use digital techniques in their daily practice. The participants emphasized the need to maintain a strong doctor\u2013patient relationship while recognizing the benefits of increased efficiency. They were aware of the risk of diminishing human connection and trust. Also, data security and the financial stress associated with implementing and maintaining new systems were seen as major obstacles. Conclusions: The dentists surveyed showed an increased interest in modern digital technologies, provided that there is a clear legal framework, a strong data protection system, and the preservation of the doctor\u2013patient relationship based on trust and confidentiality that defines the medical profession.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
