Review of the role of Artificial Intelligence in dentistry: Current applications and trends

摘要

Artificial intelligence has positively impacted several sectors, such as the medical and dental fields. Medicine has known a significant growth in its services, from diagnosis until the carrying out of operations by robots. In dentistry, the employment of artificial intelligence is still at its start. Many radiographs are used to determine diseases by showing the entire structure of the teeth and some dental problems that cannot be seen directly by the human eye. Applying deep learning models to analyze these radiographs helps improve the quality of diagnosis, the recommendation of treatments, and the early detection of illness. However, more advanced research is needed to generalize artificial intelligence in all specialties of dentistry. This review discusses various applications of artificial intelligence in dentistry as well as some applications in the medical field.
