A Comprehensive Review on AI in Endodontics

摘要

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has substantially grown its presence and importance in many jobs and applications in dentistry, notably endodontics. AI has the capacity to imitate human intelligence to conduct prediction and complicated decisionmaking in the healthcare industry. Dental technology uses artificial intelligence (AI), a relatively recent technology, extensively. Dental professionals have mostly employed AI technologies to diagnose disorders, plan treatments, make clinical judgements, and determine prognoses. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) and artificial neural networks (ANN) are AI models that have been applied in endodontics to study the anatomy of the root canal system, measure working lengths, find periapical lesions and root fractures, forecast the success of retreatment procedures, and forecast the viability of dental pulp stem cells. These all aspects have been reviewed comprehensively in the present article. Moreover, the works of literature stating the advancements in the field of AI in endodontics are studied for the present work. Furthermore, the future predictions and detailed limitations of AI in endodontics are discussed. Additionally, the future scope of the technology has been discussed in detail in the field of Photorealistic 3D Reconstructions and Robotics and Microbots.
