THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ORTHODONTICS

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in orthodontics is very diverse and ranges from the identification of anatomical and pathological structures of the human dentition to support complex decision-making in orthodontic treatment planning. The purpose of this work was to analyze current views on the use of artificial intelligence techniques and models in orthodontics based on a literature review. The scientific publications of various scientometric databases (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scolar and Web of Science) over the past 5 years were processed. Artificial intelligence is one of the most promising tools due to its high accuracy and efficiency. Practicing dentists will be able to use it as an additional tool to reduce their workload. However, this requires close cooperation of commercial AI products with the scientific community, further research, including randomized clinical trials, to test and integrate this concept in dental practice.
