Artificial Intelligence in Pediatric Dentistry: Complementing Human Intelligence for Enhanced Care
- 1. International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR)
Description
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, including pediatric dentistry, by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient management. From AI-powered imaging interpretation to emotion recognition tools for anxiety reduction, its applications are expanding rapidly. In pediatric dentistry, AI supports behavioral management, individualized care, and operational efficiency. However, AI lacks empathy, adaptability, and nuanced decision-making, making it a complement rather than a replacement for human clinicians. This review explores AI’s history, classification, and integration into pediatric dental practice, highlighting advantages, limitations, and ethical concerns. The synergy between AI's computational power and human intelligence offers the potential for compassionate, efficient, and innovative pediatric dental care.
