The dental field, with its strong reliance on imaging, precision, and personalized care, offers fertile ground for AI-driven innovation. This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current and emerging applications ofAI across all major dental specialties. It explores the integration of AI technologies within clinical, educational, and administrative contexts. A literature search was conducted for English-language articles. The review synthesizes findings related to AI applications across dental specialties. AI has the potential to reshape dental care by enhancing precision, efficiency, and accessibility. Continued research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical implementation are essential to ensure that AI serves as a supportive, equitable, and reliable force in modern dentistry.  \nCategories: Dentistry  \nKeywords: ai, artificial intelligence, deep learning, digital dentistry, machine learning, teledentistry  \nIntroduction And Background  \nArtificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force across numerous sectors, and its integration into healthcare is rapidly reshaping traditional clinical paradigms. Within dentistry, AI holds significant promise for enhancing diagnostic precision, streamlining clinical workflows, personalizing patient care, and augmenting treatment outcomes. As digital technologies become increasingly central to dental practice, AI is evolving from a theoretical concept into a tangible asset in both research and clinical settings [1] . The roots of AI date back to the mid-20th century, with foundational work in computer science, neural networks, and algorithmic decision-making. Over the past two decades, exponential growth in  \ncomputational power, data availability, and algorithmic sophistication has enabled AI systems to  \noutperform conventional tools in tasks such as pattern recognition, classification, and predictive analytics.  \nIn dentistry, these capabilities are particularly relevant, given the field’s reliance on high-resolution  \nimaging, precise morphological analysis, and complex clinical","cbCaitFxrqtaZdDA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitFxrqtaZdDA","pdf",2678868,15,"English","# Introduction and Background\n## Artificial intelligence in healthcare and dentistry\n## Core AI technologies and capabilities\n## Clinical, educational, and teledentistry impacts\n## Opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations","[{\"question\":\"What areas in dentistry can AI improve according to the review?\",\"answer\":\"The review states that AI can enhance diagnostics, treatment planning, patient monitoring, and clinical outcomes in dentistry.\"},{\"question\":\"Which AI technologies are discussed as relevant to dental practice?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, including uses such as lesion detection and image-based tasks.\"},{\"question\":\"What opportunities and challenges come with integrating AI into dentistry?\",\"answer\":\"The review emphasizes improved clinical efficiency and precision, alongside concerns about data privacy, algorithmic transparency, ethical accountability, and regulatory oversight.\"}]","The Expanding Role of Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry - A Cross-Specialty Chairside Perspective | PDF",1790629926,38]
