The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry Practices.

Artificial intelligence can be defined as "understanding human thinking and trying to develop computer processes that will produce a similar structure." Thus, it is an attempt by a programmed computer to think. According to a broader definition, artificial intelligence is a computer equipped with human intelligencespecific capacities such as acquiring information, perceiving, seeing, thinking, and making decisions. Quality demands in dental treatments have constantly been increasing in recent years. In parallel with this, using image-based methods and multimedia-supported explanation systems on the computer is becoming widespread to evaluate the available information. The use of artificial intelligence in dentistry will greatly contribute to the reduction of treatment times and the effort spent by the dentist, reduce the need for a specialist dentist, and give a new perspective to how dentistry is practiced. In this review, we aim to review the studies conducted with artificial intelligence in dentistry and to inform our dentists about the existence of this new technology.
