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.

AI will not replace dentists but will improve clinical outcomes, say experts. 'Artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace dentists; it will help make their clinical outcomes more predictable', says Professor Falk Schwendicke.

Imaging tools use AI to guide patients as they capture images of their teeth and can then detect signs of declining oral health to flag for the dental care team. AI-guided 3D simulations of patients' mouths help orthodontists accelerate the fittings and transition between braces, aligners, and retainers.

Provider experience did not affect agreement, and model retraining increased diagnostic ac- curacy for retrained conditions from 96.6% to 98.0%. Conclusion: Our findings show that agreement between AI and provider diagnoses is high in most cases in the setting of this study.
