Artificial Intelligence and Its Applications in Oral Medicine-Part 2.

Oral medicine is the dental specialty dedicated to the oral health of medically complex patients and the diagnosis and management of medically-related diseases, disorders, and conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. In addition to direct patient care, Oral Medicine specialists often engage in indirect patient care activities such as patient education and practice administration and/or academic activities such as student education and research. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been increasingly studied to facilitate these domains and contribute to more positive outcomes for practitioners, patients, and students alike. A review of the literature on these AI applications in Oral Medicine and related medical and dental fields provides an understanding of their current advantages and limitations.
