Abstract

Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that uses machines to mimic human behavior. Nowadays, AI has gained more influence and applications in the fields of medical science and dentistry. These applications are related to many different areas of dental treatments, from root canal therapy to orthodontic treatments, applications in oral and maxillofacial surgery, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of malignancies in these areas. In this study we aim to investigate the role and capabilities of AI different dental treatments.
Discussion: According to the findings of this study, today significant progress has been made in the field of AI from diagnosis to dental treatment planning. The use of machine and deep learning systems can be effective in the diagnosis of lesions and prognosis for patients with oral malignancies. Also, AI can help orthodontists in treatment planning and predicting treatment outcomes in patients requiring orthodontic treatments. These systems are also used for identifying and screening the periodontium status of patients with periodontal disease. In addition, various studies have reported the effectiveness of using artificial intelligence systems in various aspects of root canal treatments, from determining working length and identifying root canals to detecting vertical root fractures.
Conclusion: The use of artificial intelligence shows wide applications in dental treatments. Most applications of artificial intelligence today are in the field of diagnosis and providing treatment plans based on machine and deep learning systems. Artificial intelligence has been able to show acceptable results, although it could be said that we are at the beginning of its application, and various studies are still required to reveal the different aspects of using artificial intelligence in the field of dental treatments.
