Artificial intelligence and dental clinical practice
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained notoriety in the dental field, since the emergence of several tools that help dentists in the performance of their activities and clinical routine, contributing to the early diagnosis of diseases, personalization of treatments, and data management. The objective of this chapter is to address the impact of artificial intelligence on clinical dental practice, based on the literature of the last 5 years, available in the PUBMED, SCIELO and Google Scholar databases. Intelligent systems that have the potential to transform clinical practice in dentistry, support the professional in the quality of the diagnosis and reduce the cognitive wear of the professional, contributing to the reduction of neglected information, leading him to the best treatment decision. In this sense, the conscious and ethical use of AI in dentistry is essential for an adequate and responsible integration of AI systems into the clinical routine of the dental surgeon. Although there are limitations and flaws presented by AI resources that still need to be addressed, the advantages presented by these tools stand out and show promise in the dental field. The development, implementation, and receipt of AI in dentistry must be based on well-being, privacy, the law, and respect for autonomy and decision-making.
