Dental caries is a prevalent condition, often requiring time-intensive analysis of dental images for diagnosis. AI systems, particularly those using machine learning, can quickly analyze these images and detect signs of caries.

In dentistry, artificial intelligence can be used for dental imaging, diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral pathology, and also in forensic dentistry for dental profiling.

Recent research from Mass General Brigham suggests a new type of AI can diagnose patients with impressive accuracy. Known as a “chatbot,” this AI uses data from the internet to provide human-like answers to questions.

In recent years, many CBCT studies have used AI, ML, and DL methods. Preparing the data in a way that the AI algorithm can use it effectively is known as data pre- processing, and it is a crucial step in the AI process for CBCT data.
