The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the medical field has the potential to bring about significant improvements in patient care and outcomes. AI is being used in dentistry and more specifically in orthodontics through the development of diagnostic imaging tools, the development of treatment planning tools, and the development of robotic surgery. The aim of this study is to present the latest emerging AI softwares and applications in dental field to benefit from.
Search strategies were conducted in three electronic databases, with no date limits in the following databases up to April 30, 2023: MEDLINE, PUBMED, and GOOGLE® SCHOLAR for articles related to AI in dentistry & orthodontics. No inclusion and exclusion criteria were used for the selection of the articles. Most of the articles included (n = 79) are reviews of the literature, retro/prospective studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and observational studies.
The use of AI in dentistry and orthodontics is a rapidly growing area of research and development, with the potential to revolutionize the field and bring about significant improvements in patient care and outcomes; this can save clinicians' chair-time and push for more individualized treatment plans. Results from the various studies reported in this review are suggestive that the accuracy of AI-based systems is quite promising and reliable.
AI application in the healthcare field has proven to be efficient and helpful for the dentist to be more precise in diagnosis and clinical decision-making. These systems can simplify the tasks and provide results in quick time which can save dentists time and help them perform their duties more efficiently. These systems can be of greater aid and can be used as auxiliary support for dentists with lesser experience.
人工智能（AI）在医学领域的应用有潜力带来患者护理和结果的重大改善。 AI 正在牙科中得到应用，更具体地说，在正畸领域通过开发诊断成像工具、开发治疗计划工具和开发机器人手术来得到应用。本研究的目的是介绍牙科领域最新出现的 AI 软件和应用，以从中受益。
在三个电子数据库中进行了搜索策略，以下数据库中没有日期限制，截至 2023 年 4 月 30 日：MEDLINE、PUBMED 和 GOOGLE®SCHOLAR，以获取与牙科和正畸学中的 AI 相关的文章。没有使用纳入和排除标准来选择文章。大多数纳入的文章（n=79）是文献综述、回顾性/前瞻性研究、系统评价和荟萃分析以及观察性研究。
AI 在牙科和正畸学中的应用是一个快速发展的研究和开发领域，有潜力彻底改变该领域，并带来患者护理和结果的重大改善；这可以节省临床医生的椅上时间，并推动更个性化的治疗计划。本综述中报道的各项研究的结果表明，基于 AI 的系统的准确性非常有希望且可靠。
AI 在医疗保健领域的应用已被证明是高效且有助于牙医更准确地进行诊断和临床决策。这些系统可以简化任务并在短时间内提供结果，从而为牙医节省时间并帮助他们更有效地履行职责。这些系统可以提供更大的帮助，并可作为经验较少的牙医的辅助支持。
