Artificial Intelligence and Orthodontic Practice

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that describes the research and development of simulated human intelligent behavior in machines. Machine learning (ML) is a subset of AI that refers to the computer's ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. In ML, different models generally fall into three different categories: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Deep learning is the most recent subset of ML, with networks capable of learning unsupervised from unstructured data. This chapter provides an overview of various AI-based applications in orthodontics, introduces the concept of "blockchain" and its potential applications in healthcare, and briefly discusses the ethical implications of using AI technology. AI-based cephalometric analysis is one of the most common applications of AI in orthodontics. Dentofacial orthopedic and orthodontic treatment planning is primarily influenced by the pubertal growth spurt and skeletal maturation.
