Objective: The aim of this study was to multidimensionally evaluate clinical-period dental students' awareness, knowledge levels, attitudes, expectations, and potential concerns regarding AI applications.Methods: The study population consisted of fourth and fifth-year students in the clinical training period at the Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire developed by the researchers. Items related to attitudes and opinions were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale. Categorical variables were compared between groups using Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. The SPSS (IBM Corp. Released 2017. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) program was used for statistical analyses, and a significance level of p
