Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances dental diagnostics and efficiency. This review shows AI improves accuracy in detecting diseases and streamlines practice operations, benefiting patient care.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Artificial Intelligence
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into dental practice, transforming patient treatment and clinical workflows.
- AI technologies, particularly deep learning algorithms, show promise in analyzing dental images for early disease detection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the integration of AI in dentistry.
- To evaluate AI's impact on diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and operational efficiency.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search of databases (PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science) from 2019-2024.
- Selection of 39 full-text articles based on inclusion/exclusion criteria.
- Quality assessment using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool.
Main Results:
- AI algorithms demonstrate high proficiency in analyzing dental images for detecting caries, periodontal disease, and oral malignancies.
- AI-driven tools streamline administrative tasks, automate processes, and enhance practice efficiency, reducing operational time.
- AI shows significant potential across various dental fields, including radiology, periodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, oncology, and patient management.
Conclusions:
- AI holds transformative potential for modern dentistry, improving clinical outcomes and patient care.
- Balancing technological advancements with ethical considerations and human expertise is crucial for AI implementation.
- Continued research and development are essential in the rapidly evolving field of AI in dentistry.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
