The world has been transformed after invention of robotics, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. Their application in the medical field is well recorded; however, their application in dentistry is still being recognized. Hence, in our study, we aimed to analyze the advances in research trends in the digital and the robotics specifically to the dental fields.
We conducted a search for articles that recorded the use of robots, digitalization, and artificial intelligence in dentistry, specifically in endodontics. We piloted a questionnaire study to evaluate the awareness and application of these technologies by the clinicians. The results are presented as various applications of these technologies and the number of the articles for various terminologies. The application of these technologies was compared between the clinicians using ANOVA, with < 0.05 being significant.
We observed a significant difference between the clinicians regarding the application of these technologies and lower awareness was noted. None of the participants used these technologies in practice. Of the total 20 articles that we had finalized, we observed that these technologies helped in studying the various pathologies and structures that were unviewed previously, as well as treatments, prognosis, and outcomes.
There is a low awareness of these advanced technologies and application in routine practice. These technologies show greater precision and accuracy. However, the application of these in daily clinical practice and the economy are to be evaluated.
机器人技术、数字化和人工智能的发明改变了世界。它们在医学领域的应用已有充分记载；然而，它们在牙科领域的应用仍在被逐步认识。因此，在我们的研究中，我们旨在分析数字技术和机器人技术在牙科领域的研究进展趋势。
我们搜索了记录机器人技术、数字化和人工智能在牙科，特别是牙髓病学中应用的文章。我们开展了一项问卷调查研究，以评估临床医生对这些技术的认知和应用情况。结果以这些技术的各种应用以及涉及各种术语的文章数量呈现。使用方差分析比较临床医生之间这些技术的应用情况，P<0.05具有统计学意义。
我们观察到临床医生在这些技术的应用方面存在显著差异，且认知度较低。没有参与者在实践中使用这些技术。在我们最终确定的20篇文章中，我们观察到这些技术有助于研究以前未观察到的各种病理情况和结构，以及治疗、预后和结果。
这些先进技术在常规实践中的认知度和应用程度较低。这些技术显示出更高的精确性和准确性。然而，需要评估它们在日常临床实践中的应用情况以及经济性。
