Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry - A Survey

Abstract

Today’s artificial intelligence is invading our everyday lives such as digital assistants like ALEXA, SIRI.
While we may think about sci-fi imagination when heard about artificial intelligence, the future of Artificial
intelligence in dentistry is very real. With the enormous increase in the documented information and patient
data, intelligence software and computation of this data is a necessity. While advances in artificial intelligence,
neural networking, image recognition, speech recognition, etc have transformed the field of medicine and
dentistry in many ways and yet a number of drawbacks, challenges have to be overcome. A self-designed
survey study was conducted among 100 individuals of the general population. The questionnaire was
designed in the manner to assess their knowledge on the treatment and vaccines for COVID-19 infections.
The questionnaire contains a set of 10 questions. These questions were distributed through an online survey
link. The study population was well explained about the purpose of this study. The questions were carefully
studied and the responses of each individual has been recorded. The results were statistically analysed
through an online platform named google forms. The AI has the potential that can be applied in various fields
of science. Thus most of participants were aware about the usage of AI in dentistry.
