Artificial intelligence technologies in dentistry

Abstract

One of the most important actors in the digitization process of our age has been the applications of artificial intelligence (AI). While the weak and strong AI sub-concepts and the different AI models within them are being utilized in many fields such as education, industry and medicine today, the interest of the dentistry field, which has started its integration into the digital world with CAD/CAM technology, in AI is increasing day by day. In different branches of dentistry, AI provides services to clinicians and researchers in many fields such as disease diagnosis, evaluation of the occurrence or recurrence of diseases such as oral cancer, and prediction of success in surgical and prosthetic treatments. In this article, studies in which AI models such as machine learning, convolutional neural networks have found research and usage areas on the basis of different branches of dentistry are reviewed. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
