AI systems, particularly those using machine learning, can quickly analyze these images and detect signs of caries. They save time and can improve the accuracy of diagnosis by catching early-stage caries that the human eye may miss [16]. AI can also be used to predict the risk of dental caries.

Dental AI tools include products that allow dentists to remotely analyze oral photos that patients submit via smartphone. 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 explanations did not significantly improve the harmful effects of biased models on a clinician's diagnostic accuracy, estimated to be about 81%. Therefore, a combination of AI models and clinicians could be effectively used for complex diagnostic tasks.

AI algorithms can analyze medical images (e.g., X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds, CT scans, and DXAs) and assist healthcare providers in identifying and diagnosing diseases more accurately and quickly.
