    Background: Medical emergencies can occur unexpectedly in dental settings, and final year dental students must be adequately prepared to manage them. However, data on the knowledge level of Sudanese dental students regarding emergency management is scarce. Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of final-year dental students in Sudanese universities regarding the management of medical emergencies and to identify associated factors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 78 final-year dental students from public and private universities in Sudan. Data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, sources of knowledge, and knowledge of medical emergency recognition and management. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0, with descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, and chi-square tests applied. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The majority of participants were female (77.0%) and aged 24–26 years (67.6%). While 75.0% felt their curriculum adequately prepared them, the mean knowledge score was only 4.51 out of 8 (56.4%). The highest correct responses were for hypoglycemia recognition (85.7%), anaphylaxis recognition (70.0%), and use of the carotid artery for pulse check (68.6%). Major knowledge gaps were identified in the recognition of tachycardia (27.5% correct), normal vital signs (58.9% correct), stroke (47.1% correct), and hyperventilation physiology (56.2% correct). Students who utilized multiple knowledge sources (lectures, clinical training, and the internet) scored significantly higher than those relying solely on lectures (mean 5.71 vs. 3.94, p = 0.002). No significant differences were found based on gender, age, or university type. Conclusion: There is a notable discrepancy between perceived preparedness and actual knowledge among final-year dental students in Sudan regarding medical emergency management. Significant knowledge gaps exist in key areas. Multimodal educational strategies that integrate clinical training and simulation are essential to enhance preparedness and ensure patient safety.N

    Knowledge of semi-final and final dental students about the Artificial Intel ligence in Dentistry at Napata College in 2025-2026.
    (Napata College, 2026) Muram Elfadil MohamedAhmed Ezeldin; Mohamed Salah Mustafa Mohamed; Tbasheer Mohammed Abdalla Osman; Juwayriya Ali Ahmed Alhassan; Raghad Hassan Al-amin Hassan; Abubaker Abdalmahmoud Gadkreem Babker; Shimaa Mohammed Alamin Mahmoud Mohammed; Samah Ahmed Hassan Ali; Albaraa Abdullah Yousif Abdullhai
    Objectives: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing various aspects of dentistry, in cluding diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making. However, the level of under standing, awareness, and attitudes toward AI among dental students in Sudan 2025 remains insuffi ciently explored. Material and methods: this Cross-Sectional Study aimed to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitudes of semi-final and final-year dental students toward AI in dentistry at Napata College, Khar toum Bahri, Sudan, during the 2025–2026 academic year. Data were collected using Online Ques tionnaires and analyzed using SPSS Software. Results: of the 66 dental students who participated in the study 47% reported only partial knowledge of AI, while 31.8% confirmed having prior knowledge. More than half of the respondents (54.5%) rated their knowledge as poor. The majority (59.1%) relied on the internet and social media as their primary source of information, compared to formal university education. Most students recognized the importance of AI and its potential applications; Clinical decision support systems were the most preferred AI technology (53%). Key perceived benefits included time-saving and improved diagnos tic accuracy, while major concerns involved lack of human judgment (59.1%) and technical errors. Importantly, most participants rejected the idea that AI could replace dentists, with 90.9% emphasiz ing the irreplaceable role of the human element. Additionally, a strong interest in learning was ob served, with 83.3% expressing willingness to receive formal training in AI. Conclusion: although dental students at Napata College demonstrate positive attitudes toward AI and recognize its clinical value, there is a significant gap in formal knowledge. Integrating AI-focused education and training into dental curricula is essential to prepare future dentists for the evolving dig ital landscape.
