The Transformative Influence Of Artificial Intelligence In Dentistry

Abstract

Introduction:  In today's world, the importance of artificial intelligence is increasing in the field of medicine, including dental care. AI has gained significant popularity in different branches of dentistry, such as periodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, operative dentistry,  oral and maxillofacial surgery. Several applications using artificial intelligence in the field of dentistry are dedicated to the diagnosis of conditions through the analysis of radiographic or optical imaging.

Aim of work:  To provide an in-depth assessment of the influence and applications of artificial intelligence in dentistry.

 Methods: A search was conducted in the MEDLINE database's electronic literature using the specified search terms: artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, neural network, dentistry. The search was narrowed down to publications between 2020 and 2024 to find relevant material. I conducted a search on Google Scholar to find and analyze scholarly articles that are relevant to my topic. The choice of papers was influenced by specific inclusion criteria.

Results: The publications analyzed in this study encompassed from 2020 to 2024. The study was structured into various sections with specific [1]headings in the discussion section.

Conclusion: The dental industry is constantly evolving with the rapid development and adoption of new technologies. AI is an incredibly promising field, offering impressive accuracy and efficiency when trained with unbiased data and a well-developed algorithm. Many dental professionals recognize the potential benefits of incorporating AI into their practice. By utilizing AI technology, they can enhance the accuracy and precision of various aspects of their work, including diagnosis, treatment planning, and predicting treatment outcomes and disease prognosis.
