Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has already revolutionized the fundamental operations of various sectors today, yet its integration into the healthcare sector remains in its infancy. This integration holds tremendous potential to bring about transformative effects, particularly in the advancement of patient-centered care. In a critical sector like health care, where even the smallest decision can shape treatment outcomes significantly, the integration of AI reveals its complexity. While on the one hand, AI holds promise in aiding doctors to reach accurate diagnoses faster, on the contrary, it presents its own set of challenges. This review aims to outline the current issues in the healthcare sector, explore the role of AI in addressing these challenges, summarize recent advances in AI within dentistry, and examine the key challenges in this integration.
