ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY AND ENDODONTICS

The word AI is generally related to robotics. It explains using technology to create software or a device that quickly imitates human intellectual ability and performs specific tasks. AI imitates intellectual behavior, critical thought, and decision-making that are characteristic of humans using computer technology.AI is used in a variety of ways in the medical and dentistry field, including the collection of patient histories, data processing, and information extraction for diagnosis. In the sphere of health care, AI might be virtual or physical, for example., robotics. Applications of AI in conservative dentistry are caries detection, vertical tooth fracture, detection of tooth preparation margins, prediction of restoration failure. In endodontics AI helps in periapical lesions detection, root fractures detection, determination of working length, morphology of root and root canal system, retreatment predictions, prediction of the viability of stem cells. However, before integrating AI models into routine clinical work, it is still important to do additional research to test their dependability, relevance, and expenditure.
