AI: The future of diagnosis and treatment!
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – powered technologies are rapidly revolutionizing health care. Recent advances in dentistry include the application of AI to cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging to improve detection and diagnosis. These include the use of AI to detect periapical lesions and tooth fractures or the automated recognition of teeth and other anatomical landmarks. We will discuss the benefits and challenges of applying automated radiographic image analysis within the content-rich environment of the oral cavity and jaws and give an outlook on predicted future applications for AI driven applications, such as endodontic treatment planning and robotic surgery.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the potential of artificial intelligence in aiding in the detection and diagnosis of periapical lesions.
Explain the potential of artificial intelligence in aiding in the detection of tooth cracks and fractures
Describe the benefits of computer-assisted CBCT evaluation from a medico-legal perspective
