Artificial intelligence has experienced fast and impressive development in the past five years in every aspect of human life. In dentistry, it is rapidly and effectively revolutionizing the dental field. Recent advances in computerized data acquisition and computational powers have opened the door for AI to be used with impressive results in diagnostics and treatment outcome prediction. AI can be used effectively to differentiate between healthy and diseased dental and oral tissues, identify risk factors, predict treatment outcomes, design, and fabricate restorations, and generate patient-specific treatment plans customized to each patient. It could be used in every dental specialty to achieve outcomes that were previously only achieved by specialists and experts. The future with AI is promising great potential to improve patient care and provide efficient dental treatment.
