Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly permeating every part of our lives, altering our daily experiences with increased speed, efficiency, cost-saving possibilities, and the capacity to reduce human error. Warren McCulloch and Walter Pits released a paper proposing an artificial neuron model in 1943, which began the history of AI. John McCarthy coined the phrase "artificial intelligence" in 1956. IBM Deep Blue became the first computer/machine to defeat a world chess champion in 1997. AI was first used by large organizations in 2006.
Volce became Siri's helper in 2011. Alexa was introduced by Amazon in 2013. OpenAI will release ChatGPT in 2022. In summary, the history of AI began with Neural Networks in 1950-1970, Machine Learning in 1980-2010, and Deep Learning nowadays.
Smartphones, navigation, e-commerce, smart homes, security and surveillance, the banking and financial industry, social networking platforms, and autonomous vehicles are examples of AI's effect on our life. In the field of dentistry, AI has several applications that are changing the way dentists give care and manage their practices. Radiodiagnosis is one of the most significant uses of AI in dentistry. This AI-based radiation diagnostic saves time by providing thorough and systematic reporting. Reporting AI from OPG (Orthopantomogram) scans, for example, through AI insights delivers features such as X-ray detection, interactive dental images, customizable detection lists, and report generation in seconds.
The contribution of AI to detecting tooth damage is impressive, with a 92.5 percent accuracy rate. AI is used in implant planning to simulate implant placement and design, improve accuracy, and reduce mistakes. Furthermore, AI software may generate 3D cefalometry investigations and mimic osteotomy by rendering real-time network alterations.
Furthermore, AI software can generate 3D cephalometric studies and simulate osteotomy with real-time rendering of corresponding soft tissue changes.
Oral pathology and cancer detection constitute a new field for AI, providing clinicians with accessible diagnostic tools. AI is used in endodontics to detect periapical lesions on Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images and is critical in diagnosing vertical root fractures with high sensitivity and intermediate specificity. AI, in combination with Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM), streamlines processes and offers great clinical results in prosthodontics. It may provide crown design advise as well as manufacturing assistance.
AI does not end there. It broadens its application to evaluate the pharyngeal respiratory tract by finding the freezing region. Furthermore, AI is commonly employed in CBCT for segmentation and analysis, with applications like as orthodontic treatment planning, implant placement and many more.
Essentially, artificial intelligence ushers in a new era in dentistry by enhancing diagnosis accuracy, treatment planning, and practice administration. This relieves dental
practitioners of the pressure of repetitive duties, allowing them to focus on providing high- quality patient care. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to progress and integrate deeper into the industry, the future of dental care holds great potential in terms of clinical quality and patient experience.
