Artificial Intelligence and Its Theranostic Applications in Dentistry

Abstract

As new technologies emerge, they continue to have an impact on our daily lives, and artificial intelligence (AI) covers a wide range of applications. Because of the advancements in AI, it is now possible to analyse large amounts of data, which results in more accurate data and more effective decision-making. This article explains the fundamentals of AI and examines its development and present use. AI technology has had an impact on the healthcare sector as a result of the need for accurate diagnosis and improved patient care. An overview of the existing AI applications in clinical dentistry was provided. Comprehensive care involving artificial intelligence aims to provide cutting-edge research and innovations, as well as high-quality patient care, by enabling sophisticated decision support tools. The cornerstone of AI advancement in dentistry is creative inter-professional coordination among medical professionals, scientists, and engineers. Artificial intelligence will continue to be associated with dentistry from a wide angle despite potential misconceptions and worries about patient privacy. This is because precise treatment methods and quick data sharing are both essential in dentistry. Additionally, these developments will make it possible for patients, academicians, and healthcare professionals to exchange large data on health as well as provide insights that enhance patient care.

Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Dentistry: A Literature Review

“…AI’s key negatives include its high cost, limited accessibility, possibility for bias and data security breaches, lack of human emotions, and programming openness. [ 12 ]…”

“…These jobs include but are not limited to the examination of medical records, tracking and analyzing population health data, the development of therapeutic medications and devices, the interpretation of radiological images, and the provision of clinical diagnoses and treatments. [ 12 ]…”
