AI in Prosthodontics: A Narrative Review Bridging Established Knowledge and Innovation Gaps Across Regions and Emerging Frontiers

Abstract

As the discipline of prosthodontics evolves, it encounters a dynamic landscape characterized by innovation and improvement. This comprehensive analysis underscores future developments and transformative solutions across its various subspecialties: fixed, removable, implant, and maxillofacial prosthodontics. The narrative review examines the latest advancements in prosthetic technology, focusing on several critical areas. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into prosthetic design and fitting processes is revolutionizing the field, serving as a common thread that links these innovative technologies across all subspecialties. This includes advancements in automated diagnostics, predictive analysis, and treatment planning. Furthermore, the review offers a forward-looking perspective on how these innovations are influencing each prosthetic dentistry domain, patient outcomes, and current clinical practices. By thoroughly analyzing contemporary research and emerging technologies, the study illustrates how these advancements represent a growing focal point of interest in developing countries, such as Romania, with the potential to redefine the trajectory of prosthetic rehabilitation and enhance patient care not only within this country but also beyond.
