Artificial intelligence (AI) is a division of computer science that allows machines to emulate human cognitive processes. In dentistry, AI is applied in clinical decision-making and can aid in detecting disease and predicting patterns based on existing data sets. AI can assist clinicians by quickly analyzing massive amounts of data to improve workflow, identify patterns of disease, provide risk assessment, and create individualized patient-centered treatment plans. AI has been shown to increase efficiency in the office by aiding in scheduling, tracking, and updating patient records to better organize patient data. The objective of this article is to outline the various applications of AI in different dental specialties. Applications range from business functions such as marketing, cyber security, and report writing to clinical uses such as lesion detection and surgical guidance. This review will also discuss some of the ethical considerations and drawbacks associated with implementing AI in the dental practice.
人工智能(AI)是计算机科学的一个分支,它使机器能够模拟人类的认知过程。在牙科领域,人工智能被应用于临床决策,可以帮助发现疾病,并根据现有数据集预测模式。人工智能可以通过快速分析大量数据来帮助临床医生提高工作效率、识别疾病模式、提供风险评估,并制定个体化的以患者为中心的治疗计划。人工智能还可以通过帮助安排、跟踪和更新患者记录来更好地组织患者数据,从而提高办公室效率。本文的目的是概述人工智能在不同牙科专业中的各种应用。这些应用涵盖了从市场营销、网络安全和报告编写等业务功能到病变检测和手术指导等临床应用。本文还将讨论在牙科实践中实施人工智能相关的一些伦理考虑因素和缺点。
