ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DENTISTRY: A BOON OR BANE?

Updated on: June 15, 2026

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DENTISTRY: A BOON OR BANE?

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI), as first introduced by John McCarthy, refers to machines that can imitate human knowledge and behaviour. The potential can be executed through a course of data.

Methods in Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning. This subset of AI allows the machine to learn and make predictions based on experience.

Representation learning. It is a type of artificial intelligence whose main objective is to learn multiple ways of representing and abstracting data. This type of AI can interpret data in its raw form. It can also identify the representations necessary to classify or detect in a pre-programmed manner.

Deep Learning. It is a subset of machine learning that mimics how humans acquire certain types of information. In this type, there is no need to program the various functions that need to be carried out.

Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

AI aids in improving patient care by enabling the use of advanced, technology-enabled instruments, leading to more accurate, less erroneous diagnoses. Improved imaging can lead to a better understanding of the patient's condition, and surgeries can be planned accordingly.

The use of AI in the pharmaceutical industry can accelerate drug identification.

AI can also help identify high-risk pregnancies. Hospital settings equipped with the latest technology in supporting an AI interface can be used to manage any high-risk pregnancies to aid in decreased mortality rates and postpartum problems.

AI is also being used to develop a powered exoskeleton that can assist those with paralysis or limb/ hand amputations in regaining control and resuming function.

Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry

The rapid advancement of technology and its ever-increasing demand are also evident in the healthcare sector, including dentistry. The merits of this intelligent technology can be used to reduce human workload and improve the efficiency and quality of work. AI has certain applications in all fields of dentistry.

AI is being used in dentistry to improve image quality for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The advent of CBCT has been advantageous to both clinicians and patients. The location of canals, the distance of the tooth from the mandibular canal, and the amount of bone available for implant placement can be accurately measured. These have resulted in less time consumption and reduced invasive treatment options.

AI has great application in orthodontics, where a comprehensive history and extra- and intraoral examinations are of utmost importance for an accurate treatment plan. A unique strategy was implemented using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for decision-making regarding extraction in orthodontic patients. The model had a favourable outcome of around 90-93% in differentiating between extraction and non-extraction cases.

The different types of periodontitis can be studied by applying the potentialities of AI.

Age estimation in forensic dentistry could be enhanced with AI assistance, as the images produced will be of higher quality.

Challenges related to Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

As everything comes with its own pros and cons, so does the adoption of this new technology, artificial intelligence. Despite numerous advantages, a few issues remain unresolved. A few challenges involved in the application of artificial intelligence are as follows:

  • Digitalisation of data followed by its consolidation.
  • Lack of awareness and trust among patients
  • Lack of expertise.
  • Job insecurity among healthcare professionals.
  • Issues related to maintaining the patient's privacy and confidentiality.

To conclude, with the latest innovations in AI, new improvements are being made to provide more accurate results. This intelligent technology, introduced in dentistry, can be used effectively to reduce workload and enhance the quality of care provided.

Although it may still have some limitations that could lead to erroneous outcomes, with ongoing updates and bug fixes, these drawbacks can be mitigated.

One also needs to learn to use technology to their advantage to do smart work and stay up to date with current scenarios.
