Diagnostics & Imaging – AI can analyze X-rays, CBCT scans, and intraoral images to detect cavities, gum disease, tumors, and even early signs of oral cancer way faster (and sometimes more accurately) than humans. It helps dentists catch problems before they get serious. Predictive Analytics – Machine learning can assess patient data (past dental history, lifestyle habits, genetics) to predict issues like tooth decay or gum disease before they happen, allowing for personalized preventive care. AI-Assisted Treatment Planning – AI can recommend optimal treatment plans based on a patient’s condition, helping dentists make better-informed decisions and reducing trial-and-error in complex cases. Automated Charting & Documentation – AI-powered software can transcribe and structure dental records, making life easier for dentists and reducing administrative work. Virtual Dental Assistants – AI chatbots or virtual assistants can help answer patient queries, schedule appointments, send reminders, and even provide post-treatment care instructions. 3D Printing & Prosthetics – AI is improving the design of crowns, bridges, and aligners by analyzing patient-specific data to create highly customized and precise dental restorations. Teledentistry & Remote Consultations – AI-driven tools can help dentists diagnose and advise patients remotely, making dental care more accessible, especially in rural areas.
100%! AI and machine learning are already making waves in dentistry, and there’s a ton of potential for even more. Here are some solid use cases:

Pre-processing: Able to clean the data in a meaningful, reduce the dimensionality and extract relevant features for the problems they are tackling. Models and algorithms: understand supervised vs unsupervised learning, the differences between models and algorithms, and select a set of appropriate models. Performance evaluation: Understand the performance evaluation metrics for different types of use case, ground truth labelling, establish baseline performance.

Absolutely, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have significant potential to transform dentistry by improving diagnostics, treatment planning, patient care, and operational efficiency. There are some well-researched and promising use cases for applying ML/AI in dentistry.
