Artificial intelligence in dentistry and its future

Abstract

Technology is evolving every day and the latest trends in Artificial Intelligence have made dental procedures less time consuming and minimally invasive. With their application the decision making processes have become easier and faster. Patients are more comfortable and dentists are more confident about their work. This advent of technology into medical science has made both practitioners and their patients comfortable and confident about the treatment rendered and received. The use of machine learning has made the decision making process easier by stimulating human intelligence into the machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. Artificial Intelligence has proved itself to be a boon in the field of dentistry. In future AI based comprehensive care systems are expected to have high quality patient care and help researchers know and treat more about diseases. Even though misconceptions and certain limitations about Artificial Intelligence prevails, it still continues to flourish due to its advantages in providing precision.

Desafíos de la inteligencia artificial en Odontología

“…De esta manera, el concepto de IA aplicado a la ciencia fue introducido por primera vez por el matemático John McCarthy en el año 1956, el cual posteriormente fue modificado por Richard Bellman quien consideró que la IA está asociada al pensamiento humano e incluye el aprendizaje y resolución de problemas. A su vez, la IA aplicada al campo de la Odontología ha permitido mejorar la precisión, lo que favorece mantener de forma digital los registros clínicos del paciente 1 . Así, en el año 2015, la IA llegó a entornos investigativos en el área odontológica, principalmente se empleó en las radiografías dentales y posteriormente en el campo clínico 2,3 .…”
