Abstract:

Technology has progressed rapidly since the 90s and these developments took their place in our daily life. There has been a tremendous improvement and a marked increase in the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past decade, including dentistry. Regardless of many developments, AI is still in its infancy, but its potential is unlimited. The evolution of artificial intelligence enables the analysis of big data that provides reliable information and improves decision making. The technological adaptation we need to demonstrate and a thorough knowledge of the subject will not only help better and more precise patient care, but also reduce the clinician's workload. AI is important in dentistry, especially in oral and maxillofacial radiology for patient diagnosis, storage of patient data, and providing an improved healthcare service for patients. AI is also slowly but steadily penetrating the field of oral and maxillofacial radiology. This review revises a general analysis of AI methods, particularly those related to image-based tasks in oral and maxillofacial radiology.
