Abstract

 Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology which is quickly advancing and has captivated the minds of researchers across the globe. The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is developing while profoundly changing the face of healthcare delivery. AI is being employed in a horde of settings including hospitals, clinical laboratories and research facilities. From data processing and finding relevant information to using neural networks for diagnosis and to the introduction of augmented reality and virtual reality in dental education, its inception has witnessed some of the exceptional achievements in dentistry. The key applications involve diagnosis and treatment recommendations, patient engagement and adherence, and administrative activities. Thus, this circumstance demands every dentist to get acquainted with this technology as the future of dentistry is adjoining the execution of its applications. The need for proper documentation of the patient’s information, quick and dependable treatment protocols through robotics in the field of surgery has encouraged the utilization of these software technologies in assisting the dentist to diagnose and treat the patients productively. However, this technological advancement is still in the phases of outset and this article is an endeavor to highlight the role of artificial intelligence in dentistry

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence; Dentistry; Augmented Reality; Virtual Reality; Robotics; Surgery; Diagnosis and Treatment
