Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a substantial impact on various domains of society, including its significant role in revolutionizing dental care. These technological innovations have transformed dental treatment, expediting efficiency and innovation in the field. This review focuses on the substantial advancements in AI-based research in dental implantology, exploring the various applications of AI to enhance dental implant care. Comprehensive data from databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar, was thoroughly scrutinized and presented. AI has significantly impacted healthcare and dental implantology by enhancing efficiency, diagnosis, and clinical decision-making. In dental implantology, AI plays a crucial role in several aspects, such as implant identification, implant planning, prediction, and peri-implantitis management. AI models, including machine learning and deep learning, have been applied to identify implant brands accurately, outperforming dental professionals in some cases. Implant planning has been streamlined using AI to evaluate bone dimensions and locate critical anatomical landmarks. Using patient data and radiographic features, AI-driven prediction models proved as powerful tools for predicting implant success and peri-implantitis risk. Additionally, AI helps in the early recognition of complications like fractured implants and bio-tribocorrosion.
