[Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: A Sign of the Times].

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most significant innovations in dentistry, enabling the efficient analysis of large volumes of data and enhancing the quality of diagnosis and treatment.

The aim of this study: Is to conduct a systematic review of the existing literature related to the application of AI in dental imaging. T.

Materials and methods: The study included works where AI was used for the analysis of dental images, with a focus on deep learning methods and convolutional neural networks. The search was conducted in six leading databases, including PubMed, IEEE Xplore and others.

Results: AI significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosing dental conditions, such as caries and periodontitis, and promotes a more personalized approach to patient treatment. However, existing studies are often limited by small data sets, highlighting the need for further research.

Conclusion: AI has the potential to greatly enhance dental practice, but its full integration into clinical practice requires additional studies. The legal regulation of AI use is also an important aspect to consider.
