The Use of Artificial İntelligence in Dental Treatments

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

Artificial intelligence can be defined as computer modeled systems that imitate the nerve cells of the human brain by using various algorithms by a machine, can think and act rationally, have the ability to learn and solve problems, and can replicate the cognitive functions of the human mind associated with other human minds.

Is artificial intelligence used in dentistry?

Artificial intelligence is seen in almost every aspect of our lives today. Although we are not aware of it, it is used for support in technological and scientific studies in various sectors.

The use of artificial intelligence in the field of health shortens the treatment time and increases the success rate. From artificial intelligence in the field of dentistry; It is used from the production of materials used in dental treatments to the last stages of treatment. Artificial intelligence assisted treatments offer patients satisfaction and quality, and dentists the opportunity to achieve excellent and fast results.

Now, artificial intelligence has begun to be integrated into all areas of dentistry.

Artificial ıntelligence (AI) uses in dentistry?

Artificial intelligence is frequently used in image recognition algorithms. With the use of AI, it saves time in the field of dental radiology, which helps dentists make the correct diagnosis, plan treatment and monitor dental health.

Use of it at every stage of dental treatments is increasing. For example; It is currently used in dental implant treatments to design implants or dental prostheses suitable for the patient's oral structure.

In addition, all developments are followed closely and artificial intelligence supported systems are used in root canal treatments, dental veneer treatments and other treatments. Artificial intelligence in dentistry:

  • In diagnosing,
  • In treatment planning,
  • In patient follow-up,
  • Simulates the result of the treatment before the dental veneer,
  • In orthodontic treatments,
  • In the design and production of prosthetic and veneer teeth,
  • Smile design planning

and used in many processes. It increases the success rate by minimizing the margin of error and contributes to time and cost savings.

How artificial intelligence applications can help dentists?

Artificial intelligence applications contribute to dentists in the decision-making process, especially with the results, analyzes and treatment recommendations at the diagnosis stage. In addition:

  • Identification of tooth deficiencies and restorations in the mouth,
  • Detection of caries and periapical pathologies,
  • Implant planning,
  • Determination of the appropriate implant,
  • Cyst and tumor diagnosis,
  • Periodontal problems,
  • Dental anomalies,

It helps by providing a variety of data in many areas, such as treatment planning options.

Artificial ıntelligence in dentistry faculties

Artificial intelligence has quickly taken its place in dentistry clinical practices and in the education of dental faculties. In addition to the traditional structure of education in faculties, artificial intelligence applications are also included.

Today, artificial intelligence supported virtual reality simulators, robotic patients and other technological developments have become a part of dentistry education.

Artificial intelligence in dental clinics in Turkey

As artificial intelligence develops, clinically perfect, efficient and patient-centered oral and dental health services in dental treatments are also developing.

Artificial intelligence-based technologies support dentists in accurate diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, it follows patient appointments, tissue changes and bone losses in the patient. In this way, dentists recommend different treatments to their follow-up patients, taking into account the data recorded over time.

Based on the data obtained with artificial intelligence, special treatments are planned and applied for each patient. The frequency of treatment and the type of treatment are prepared differently for each patient.

Are dentists leaving their place to artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence contributes to dentists in diagnosis and treatment planning. It should be seen as a support service that increases the success of dentists in dental treatment. Artificial intelligence helps dentists as a decision support mechanism by providing various reports, analyzes and treatment recommendations. Today, a dental treatment cannot be performed using artificial intelligence alone.
