Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: The Current Concepts and a Peek into the Future

Abstract

Humans have recreated intelligence for effective human decision making and to unburden themselves of the stupendous workload. Artificial intelligence can act as a supplemental tool to improve diagnosis and treatment care but intelligent machines can never be 'human'. The field of artificial intelligence is relatively young but has still come a long way in the fields of medicine and dentistry. Hence, there is a need for the dentists to be aware about its potential implications for a lucrative clinical practice in the future.
