Teeth, Tech, and AI: A Revolutionizing approach in Dentistry
Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Digital dentistry equipped with AI based integrated platforms enabled dentists to provide accurate diagnosis, prompt treatment, increased efficiency of evidence-based healthcare service provision.
Objectives
- To explore the role of AI in dentistry with emphasis on public health aspects as oral health awareness, tobacco cessation counselling and tele Dentistry
- to reconnoitre the role of AI in dental healthcare services and public health surveillance.
Methodology
Electronic search in various databases with the keywords AI, Digital dentistry, oral health awareness, surveillance, Communication, Dental imaging, were performed such as PubMed/MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine), Scopus (Elsevier), ScienceDirect databases (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), and the Cochrane Collaboration (Wiley). 30 full-text articles were selected and systematically analysed and the relevant data were extracted.
Result and Conclusion
AI-driven platform enhanced oral health awareness, services and facilitated automated evidence synthesis in the field of dentistry making it affordable, accessible and available to the public. Integration of AI and digital dentistry holds the promise of revolutionizing the way we approach oral health care.
