Periodontics in the era of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that enables the development of intelligent machines that can complete tasks without the assistance of humans. AI has undergone a significant transformation from a purely statistical tool to one of the main forces in modern medicine. AI approaches have proven to be extremely effective, accurate, and time-efficient in diagnosis and treatment planning. Recently, AI has been used extensively in the field of dentistry. Recently, several areas of periodontics have begun using AI-based models. Plaque, alveolar bone, gingiva, the relationship between systemic and periodontal health, and dental implants were all the subjects of research. AI helps periodontists provide patients with simple diagnoses and treatments. This review article
focusses on the various applications of AI in the field of periodontology.
