Abstract

Although dated back to 1950, artificial Intelligence (AI) has not become a practical tool until two decades ago. In fact, AI is the capacity of machines to do tasks that normally require human intelligence. AI applications have been started to provide convenience to people’s lives due to the rapid development of big data computational power, as well as AI algorithm. Furthermore, AI has been used in every dental specialties. Most of the applications of AI in dentistry are in diagnosis based on X-ray or visual images, whereas other functions are not as operative as image-based functions mainly due to data availability issues, data uniformity and computing power for processing 3D data. AI machine learning (ML) patterns assimilate from human expertise whereas Evidence-based dentistry (EBD) is the high standard for the decision-making of dentists. Thus, ML can be used as a new precious implement to aid dental executives in manifold phases of work. It is a necessity that institutions integrate AI into their theoretical and practical training programs without forgetting the continuous training of former dentists.
