Bilal Arjumand. Saudi Dent J. 2024 Jun.

Abstract

This review explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on restorative dentistry. By discussing the diagnostic processes, treatment planning, image analysis, prosthodontics, and material/biomaterial research, this study highlights the role of AI in optimizing precision and efficiency. It emphasizes personalized material selection, accelerated biomaterial research, and AI-enabled clinical workflows for enhanced patient outcomes. The review concludes with insights into the challenges, ethical considerations, and future trends, emphasizing the collaborative efforts needed for continued innovation in AI-driven restorative dentistry.

Keywords: Aesthetics; Artificial intelligence; Bio materials; Diagnosis; Restorative materials.
