Artificial intelligence in periodontology: A new era in diagnostic and patient care

Abstract

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that is raising extremely promptly and has become one of the most discussed topics in modern technology. This review article looks at the many uses of AI in these fields, exhibiting how it aids with finding diseases, assessing risks, planning treatments, and managing routine practice tasks. AI models have demonstrated promising results in areas such as detecting and classifying periodontal diseases, assessing bone levels, identifying halitosis, planning dental implant treatments, optimizing implant designs, and predicting treatment outcomes. Furthermore, AI tools, including large language models like ChatGPT, are being utilized for patient management, education, and administrative tasks within dental practices. Even though AI has multiple benefits like being accurate, working faster, and supports better research, there are some problems that need to be solved before it can be used a lot. These problems involve having good data, keeping patient information private, getting approbation from rules and laws, and making doctors feel comfortable using it. Ultimately, AI is poised to serve as a powerful decision aid for periodontists and implantologists, supporting patient-centric care rather than replacing human expertise.
