Smarter smiles : AI shaping the future of dentistry

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is steadily redefining the landscape of dentistry by introducing data-driven precision into clinical practice. Through machine learning and deep learning algorithms, AI enables the analysis of complex radiographic and clinical information, supporting clinicians in accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome prediction .In endodontics, AI assists in the interpretation of intraoral radiographs and CBCT images for the detection of periapical lesions, root fractures, resorptive defects, missed canals, and variations in root canal morphology. These applications help reduce diagnostic variability and improve the predictability of root canal treatment. AI-based models are also being explored for working length estimation, assessment of treatment quality, and prognosis prediction, thereby enhancing evidence-based decision-making. In conservative dentistry.
