Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied across all disciplines of medicine, including dentistry. Oral health research is experiencing a rapidly increasing use of machine learning (ML), the branch of AI that identifies inherent patterns in data similarly to how humans learn. In contemporary clinical dentistry, ML supports computer-aided diagnostics, risk stratification, individual risk prediction, and decision support to ultimately improve clinical oral health care efficiency, outcomes, and reduce disparities. Further, ML is progressively used in dental and oral health research, from basic and translational science to clinical investigations. With an ML perspective, this review provides a comprehensive overview of how dental medicine leverages AI for diagnostic, prognostic, and generative tasks. The spectrum of available data modalities in dentistry and their compatibility with various methods of applied AI are presented. Finally, current challenges and limitations as well as future possibilities and considerations for AI application in dental medicine are summarized.
