Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) builds upon the digital tools the dental profession has already adopted. It promises to transform the patient journey outlined above and support the quest of the dental community to improve oral health. In this review, we will detail how AI is used today in the clinic to improve patient care and experience. The review will start with the diagnostic capabilities of AI and then move to how it can be used to support treatment planning and patient communication. It will end with a discussion of how AI quantification helps dentists monitor longitudinal outcomes for patients and across the practice.
