Abstract
An increasing number of studies on artificial intelligence (AI) are published in the dental and oral sciences. The reporting, but also further aspects of these studies, suffer from a range of limitations. Standards towards reporting, like the recently published Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT)-AI extension can help to improve studies in this emerging field, and the encourages authors, reviewers, and readers to adhere to these standards. Notably, though, a wide range of aspects beyond reporting, located along various steps of the AI lifecycle, should be considered when conceiving, conducting, reporting, or evaluating studies on AI in dentistry.
