Use of AI in Dental Implant Diagnostic and Treatment Planning Protocol: A Narrative Review

  • 1. International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR)

Description

Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly transformative role in modern medicine, significantly enhancing healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. From diagnostic imaging to treatment planning, AI systems have shown exceptional potential in supporting clinical decision-making and streamlining workflows1. In dentistry, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an indispensable tool for improving multiple aspects of patient care, particularly in implant planning—a critical area of dental implantology that requires precision and careful coordination. By utilizing AI algorithms and machine learning techniques, clinicians can effectively analyze complex datasets and tailor treatment strategies to the unique needs of each patient2.
