Abstract
Integration of metaverse technology in dentistry is transforming patient treatment, education and professional growth. This investigation examines the awareness, attitude and preparation of dental students and practitioners regarding metaverse applications in their field of work. Hence, 476 participants were asked about their awareness of artificial intelligence, XR, block-chain and digital twins, together with the various advantages and disadvantages of these technologies. While metaverse adoption is widely sought, especially in education and training, questions about cost, privacy and usability still linger. Thus, the need for structured learning programs to maximize the benefits of metaverse technology and raise dental practitioners' digital proficiency is highlighted.
meta - verse技术在牙科领域的整合正在改变患者治疗、教育和专业成长。本调查考察了牙科学生和从业人员在其工作领域中关于元宇宙应用的意识、态度和准备。因此，476名参与者被问及他们对人工智能、XR、区块链和数字孪生的认识，以及这些技术的各种优缺点。虽然人们广泛寻求采用虚拟世界，尤其是在教育和培训领域，但有关成本、隐私和可用性的问题仍然存在。因此，需要结构化的学习计划，以最大限度地发挥meta技术的好处，提高牙科从业者的数字熟练程度。
