Artificial intelligence in oral health surveillance among under-served communities.

Abstract

A sizable percentage of the population in India still does not have easy access to dental facilities. Therefore, it is of interest to document the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in oral surveillance of underserved communities. Available data shows that AI makes it possible to screen, diagnose, track, prioritize, and monitor dental patients remotely via smart devices. As a result, dentists won't have to deal with simple situations that only require standard treatments; freeing them up to focus on more complicated cases. Additionally, this would allow dentists to reach a broader, more underprivileged population in difficult-to-reach places. AI fracture recognition and categorization performance has shown promise in preliminary testing. Methods for detecting aberrations are frequently employed in public health practise and research continues to be focused on them.
