Artificial intelligence in dentistry. Part two.

Summary. This study on the refinement of sources of scientific and medical information regarding the role and importance of artificial intelligence in the field of «dentistry» is a continuation of the previous study, which is presented in the publication [1] and concerns such sub-fields of the «dentistry» specialty as «prosthetic dentistry», «orthodontics», «implantology», and «radiology». Purpose: to systematize and review the available data of scientific research information for the period 2020-2024 regarding the application of artificial intelligence technologies in the specialty «dentistry», in particular in such areas as «prosthetic dentistry», «orthodontics», «implantology» and «radiology» and the possibilities of AI in clinical implications. Material and methods. A literature search was conducted on the PubMed service on February 26, 2024. The initial search was carried out using MeSH algorithms: (((«artificial intelligence»[MeSH Terms]) OR («artificial intelligence»[All Fields])) OR («ai»[All Fields])) AND («dentistry»[MeSH Terms]). Publications for the period 2020-2024 were considered. The initial search of the literature included 46 publications. After a detailed analysis of the selected publications, 26 publications, that met the needs, were left for further processing. Also added 6 publications manually, from other services, which disclosed the given topic. Accordingly, the total number of publications used for the analysis was 32 articles. From this list of articles, 22 publications were selected that corresponded to the topic of this study. Research results. This research focuses on the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and dentistry with the goal of providing a comprehensive and reasonably up-to-date overview of the various applications, challenges, and opportunities that arise at the intersection of these fields. Through the selected articles, this study aims to explore the impact of artificial intelligence on diagnostic procedures, treatment methods and the overall principle of healthcare delivery using revolutionary technologies. Conclusion. Artificial intelligence is increasingly included in the daily work of dentists, which requires a wider acquaintance with its capabilities in various fields of dentistry. Key words: Artificial intelligence, dentistry, prosthetic dentistry, implantology, orthodontics, radiology.
