ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ORAL IMAGING

Abstract

The fourth revolution “Artificial intelligence” (AI) has paved the way for all fields of medicine. The field of Dentistry is also influenced by this trend.  Though the usage of AI is used in all the fields of dentistry, its application is particularly fastidious in orofacial radiology with gaining a remarkable role in diagnosis, analysis of the image, and forensics. Apart from these, AI also improves radiographic image quality. In the near future, AI is anticipated to undergo further development and establish diagnosis by itself, and fabricate treatment plans. We clinicians must have thorough knowledge regarding the role of AI in this field. Hence, the present review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of AI in oral radiology, and aims to help dental professionals to understand the new tool which will become a part of their routine work in their future days.
