Abstract

Advancements in the domain of computer science have made artificial intelligence (AI) almost ubiquitous in everyday life. Dentistry is known to easily adapt to new technologies and hence can easily acclimatize to this nascent field. With AI spreading into dentistry, models are being used to ascertain almost every dental condition, ranging from the routine dental caries to the more complex conditions like oral cancer, maxillofacial cysts, alveolar bone loss, and even appraising the urgency for orthodontic extractions. Artificial intelligence, has untapped potential and shows promising prospects. Multiple studies have been evaluated to highlight the progress made till date and it has been seen that AI based automated systems are exceptional in a limited domain and perform on par to dental specialists on a variety of performance parameters. Better adaptation and utilization of technology will help in better and precise treatment outcomes, while also reducing the work burden of the clinician. Databases such as PubMed Central and Google Scholar were used to scout approximately 33 articles of recent origin using keywords such as artificial intelligence; artificial neural networks; convolutional neural networks; deep learning; and machine learning were used.
