A New Era of Dental Care: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Better Diagnosis and Treatment

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into dental care holds the promise of revolutionizing the field by enhancing the accuracy of dental diagnosis and treatment. This paper explores the impact of AI in dental care, with a focus on its applications in diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient engagement. AI-driven dental imaging and radiography, computer-aided detection and diagnosis of dental conditions, and early disease detection and prevention are discussed in detail. Moreover, the paper delves into how AI assists in personalized treatment planning and provides predictive analytics for dental care. Ethical and privacy considerations, including data security, fairness, and regulatory aspects, are addressed, highlighting the need for a responsible and transparent approach to AI implementation. Finally, the paper underscores the potential for a collaborative partnership between AI and dental professionals to offer the best possible care to patients, making dental care more efficient, patient-centric, and effective. The advent of AI in dentistry presents a remarkable opportunity to improve oral health outcomes, benefiting both patients and the healthcare community.

Unlocking the Potential: Investigating Dental Practitioners’ Willingness to Embrace Artificial Intelligence in Dental Practice

“…These findings suggest that AI adoption in dentistry is still in its nascent stages, with opportunities for further exploration and integration into clinical workflows [6]. Strategies to promote broader adoption may include incentivizing AI implementation, providing training and support, and fostering collaboration between dental professionals and AI developers to co-create AI-enabled solutions tailored to dental practice needs [3,7].…”

“…Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare by offering innovative solutions to enhance patient care, optimize clinical decision-making, and streamline administrative processes [1,2]. In dentistry, the potential of AI to transform various aspects of dental practice, from diagnosis and treatment planning to patient management, presents exciting opportunities for improving oral healthcare delivery [3,4]. However, the successful integration of AI into dental practice requires a comprehensive understanding of dental professionals' perspectives, attitudes, and readiness to adopt AI technology [5].…”
