Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing dentistry by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient care. AI-powered tools like virtual assistants, robotic systems, and deep learning algorithms streamline workflows and improve outcomes across dental specialties, including general dentistry, oral surgery, orthodontics, and paediatric care. AI also aids in dental education, research, and public health, offering personalized and efficient solutions. Despite its potential, challenges like data privacy, ethical concerns, and the need for regulatory oversight remain, such as ensuring compliance with GDPR and HIPAA standards in handling patient data. Additionally, the absence of standardized regulatory frameworks across regions complicates AI implementation. AI serves as a powerful augmentation tool, complementing rather than replacing the essential role of human expertise in dentistry. Future directions include advancing predictive analytics for early diagnosis and improving AI integration into clinical workflows, which could reshape the future of dental practice.
