ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the development of intelligent systems that can perform tasks per formed by humans. Machine learning is a subfield of AI in which algorithms are used to learn statistical patterns and structures in data, giving it the ability to make predictions on new data. Today, AI is an important branch of engineering that applies innovative solutions and new concepts to solve complex problems. In recent years, it has had a wide impact on daily life with its contributions to different sectors and has demonstrated its potential to offer a smarter and more comfortable life in the future. AI has led to significant transformations in healthcare by using big data sets. It aims to optimize processes through clinical decision support systems while easing the workload of healthcare professionals. In the healthcare sector, AI is widely used in many areas such as patient followup and management, prognostic assessment, medical image analysis, prediction of genetic diseases, drug discovery and development, robotic surgery, wearable devices, hospital management and telehealth services. These innovations are expected to improve the quality of patient care, increase diagnostic accuracy and oper ational efficiency in healthcare services. Thanks to digitalization, dentistry has become one of the most suitable healthcare disciplines for AI applications. The regular use of digital imaging and electronic health records facilitates the integration of AI into dental practice. AI reduces the workload of dentists in diagnosis, decisionmaking and treatment planning, increases accuracy and precision, and improves clinical decisionmaking processes with the support of data analytics. In dentistry, AI applications have become widespread in branches such as endodontics, pedodontics, implantology, periodontology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, restorative and prosthetic dental treatments, oral pathology, oral and maxillofacial radiology and forensic dentistry. In addition, AI technologies are utilized to teach clinical skills to dental students with virtual reality supported systems in educational processes. Just as the internet has become indispensable in daily life, it is predicted that AI will become an integral part of health and dentistry practices in the near future. By becoming an integral part of healthcare services, AI is expected to increase clinical effectiveness and contribute to patient satisfaction. It is important for physicians to be open to innovations by adopting this technology instead of being afraid of AI and to utilize these developments within an ethical framework.
