Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: A Sign of the Times

Close metadata

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY

Is to conduct a systematic review of the existing literature related to the application of AI in dental imaging. T

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The study included works where AI was used for the analysis of dental images, with a focus on deep learning methods and convolutional neural networks. The search was conducted in six leading databases, including PubMed, IEEE Xplore and others.

RESULTS

AI significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosing dental conditions, such as caries and periodontitis, and promotes a more personalized approach to patient treatment. However, existing studies are often limited by small data sets, highlighting the need for further research.

CONCLUSION

AI has the potential to greatly enhance dental practice, but its full integration into clinical practice requires additional studies. The legal regulation of AI use is also an important aspect to consider.
