Introduction:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is commonly used in the modern day medical system for medical and dental imaging diagnostics, decision support, precision, hospital monitoring, robotic assistants, and so on. All branches of dentistry have a role of AI, like endodontics, cancer diagnosis, and cephalometric analysis. With the advancing technology, dental professionals need to upgrade themselves.
