Transforming Prosthodontics and oral implantology using robotics and artificial intelligence

The current review focuses on how artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics can be applied to the field of Prosthodontics and oral implantology. The classification and methodologies of AI and application of AI and robotics in various aspects of Prosthodontics is summarized. The role of AI has potentially expanded in dentistry. It plays a vital role in data management, diagnosis, and treatment planning and administrative tasks. It has widespread applications in Prosthodontics owing to its immense diagnostic capability and possible therapeutic application. AI and robotics are next-generation technologies that are opening new avenues of growth and exploration for Prosthodontics. The current surge in digital human-centered automation has greatly benefited the dental field, as it transforms towards a new robotic, machine learning, and artificial intelligence era. The application of robotics and AI in the dental field aims to improve dependability, accuracy, precision, and efficiency by enabling the widespread adoption of cutting-edge dental technologies in future. Hence, the objective of the current review was to represent literature relevant to the applications of robotics and AI and in the context of diagnosis and clinical decision-making and predict successful treatment in Prosthodontics and oral implantology.
