“…Thanks to their advanced classification, learning, prediction, and detection capabilities, AI algorithms complement human skills while minimizing their imperfections and inaccuracies [ 4 ]. Several of the registered studies reported preference for the use of AI in the detection of head and neck tumors using image data (radiographic, microscopic and ultrasonographic images) [ 2 , 23 , 60 , 104 , 105 ]. The main goal of these papers was to apply a hybrid of feature-selection and machine-learning methods in oral cancer prognosis based on the parameters in correlation with clinicopathologic and genomic markers.…”

Where Is the Artificial Intelligence Applied in Dentistry? Systematic Review and Literature Analysis

This literature research had two main objectives. The first objective was to quantify how frequently artificial intelligence (AI) was utilized in dental literature from 2011 until 2021. The second objective was to distinguish the focus of such publications; in particular, dental field and topic. The main inclusion criterium was an original article or review in English focused on dental utilization of AI. All other types of publications or non-dental or non-AI-focused were excluded. The information sources were Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, queried on 19 April 2022. The search string was “artificial intelligence” AND (dental OR dentistry OR tooth OR teeth OR dentofacial OR maxillofacial OR orofacial OR orthodontics OR endodontics OR periodontics OR prosthodontics). Following the removal of duplicates, all remaining publications were returned by searches and were screened by three independent operators to minimize the risk of bias. The analysis of 2011–2021 publications identified 4413 records, from which 1497 were finally selected and calculated according to the year of publication. The results confirmed a historically unprecedented boom in AI dental publications, with an average increase of 21.6% per year over the last decade and a 34.9% increase per year over the last 5 years. In the achievement of the second objective, qualitative assessment of dental AI publications since 2021 identified 1717 records, with 497 papers finally selected. The results of this assessment indicated the relative proportions of focal topics, as follows: radiology 26.36%, orthodontics 18.31%, general scope 17.10%, restorative 12.09%, surgery 11.87% and education 5.63%. The review confirms that the current use of artificial intelligence in dentistry is concentrated mainly around the evaluation of digital diagnostic methods, especially radiology; however, its implementation is expected to gradually penetrate all parts of the profession.

“…Further developments in AI models are necessary to detect and classify tumours and cystic lesions in the clinic [96]. Baniulyte et al carried out a review study, concluding that artificial intelligence is accurate in oral cancer diagnosis and prediction [97]. Table 5 shows details of the studies that have used AI-based models for the detection of bone loss in oral and maxillofacial surgery.…”

Applying artificial intelligence to detect and analyse oral and maxillofacial bone loss—A scoping review

et al. 2023

Radiographic evaluation of bone changes is one of the main tools in the diagnosis of many oral and maxillofacial diseases. However, this approach to assessment has limitations in accuracy, inconsistency and comparatively low diagnostic efficiency. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI)‐based algorithms like deep learning networks have been introduced as a solution to overcome these challenges. Based on recent studies, AI can improve the detection accuracy of an expert clinician for periapical pathology, periodontal diseases and their prognostication, as well as peri‐implant bone loss. Also, AI has been successfully used to detect and diagnose oral and maxillofacial lesions with a high predictive value. This study aims to review the current evidence on artificial intelligence applications in the detection and analysis of bone loss in the oral and maxillofacial regions.

“…Common applications of AI in oral diagnosis and dentomaxillofacial radiology are as follows: Oral cancer prognosis and assessment of oral cancer risk [ 45 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ]; Determination of temporomandibular joint disorder progression and temporomandibular internal derangements [ 27 , 30 , 34 , 38 , 63 ]; Interpretation of conventional 2D imaging [ 31 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ]; Interpretation of cone beam computed tomography and other 3D imaging methods [ 1 , 10 , 12 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 27 , 69 , 70 , 71 ]. …”

Automatic Segmentation of Teeth, Crown–Bridge Restorations, Dental Implants, Restorative Fillings, Dental Caries, Residual Roots, and Root Canal Fillings on Orthopantomographs: Convenience and Pitfalls

Background: The aim of our study is to provide successful automatic segmentation of various objects on orthopantomographs (OPGs). Methods: 8138 OPGs obtained from the archives of the Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology were included. OPGs were converted into PNGs and transferred to the segmentation tool’s database. All teeth, crown–bridge restorations, dental implants, composite–amalgam fillings, dental caries, residual roots, and root canal fillings were manually segmented by two experts with the manual drawing semantic segmentation technique. Results: The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for both inter- and intra-observers for manual segmentation was excellent (ICC > 0.75). The intra-observer ICC was found to be 0.994, while the inter-observer reliability was 0.989. No significant difference was detected amongst observers (p = 0.947). The calculated DSC and accuracy values across all OPGs were 0.85 and 0.95 for the tooth segmentation, 0.88 and 0.99 for dental caries, 0.87 and 0.99 for dental restorations, 0.93 and 0.99 for crown–bridge restorations, 0.94 and 0.99 for dental implants, 0.78 and 0.99 for root canal fillings, and 0.78 and 0.99 for residual roots, respectively. Conclusions: Thanks to faster and automated diagnoses on 2D as well as 3D dental images, dentists will have higher diagnosis rates in a shorter time even without excluding cases.
