What every dentist needs to know about the use of artificial intelligence in dentistry.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a division of computer science that allows machines to emulate human cognitive processes. In dentistry, AI is applied in clinical decision-making and can aid in detecting disease and predicting patterns based on existing data sets. AI can assist clinicians by quickly analyzing massive amounts of data to improve workflow, identify patterns of disease, provide risk assessment, and create individualized patient-centered treatment plans. AI has been shown to increase efficiency in the office by aiding in scheduling, tracking, and updating patient records to better organize patient data. The objective of this article is to outline the various applications of AI in different dental specialties. Applications range from business functions such as marketing, cyber security, and report writing to clinical uses such as lesion detection and surgical guidance. This review will also discuss some of the ethical considerations and drawbacks associated with implementing AI in the dental practice.
