Artificial Intelligence in Prosthodontics: From Diagnosis to Rehabilitation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction globally as a result of its positive effects on innovation, science, and technology. Over the past few years, AI has significantly increased its utilization within dentistry, especially in prosthodontics. This Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses -guided search was done in Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library using predefined Medical Subject Headings terms and keywords related to AI and prosthodontics. The studies were screened independently based on predefined inclusion criteria. Relevant data on study design, AI methodology, prosthodontic applications, and outcomes were extracted. Due to heterogeneity, findings were synthesized qualitatively. This comprehensive review attempts to overview of the improvement in conventional prosthodontics treatment after the use of AI. The aim of this review article is to present a comprehensive review of AI and particularly its significance in the field of prosthodontics, to present the current applications of AI in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and digital workflows of prosthodontics, and to assess the effect of AI on improving the accuracy, efficiency, and predictability of prosthodontic procedures.
