This study explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry, focusing on its role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and overall patient care. The research highlights how AI technologies, including machine learning, neural networks, and imaging analysis, can support dentists in early detection of dental diseases such as caries, periodontal conditions, and oral cancers. Additionally, the study discusses the benefits of AI in predicting treatment outcomes, optimizing personalized care, and improving clinical efficiency. Ethical considerations, potential challenges, and future prospects of integrating AI into dental practice are also addressed. The findings suggest that AI has the potential to revolutionize dentistry, making it more precise, efficient, and patient-centered.
