AI based domain maintaining Pedodontics guide from new born to adolescent: Enhancing Care and Improving Outcome

In the global epidemic era, oral problems significantly impact a major population of children. The key to a child’s optimal health is early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these diseases. In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has seen tremendous pace and progress. As a result, AI’s infiltration is witnessed even in those areas that were traditionally thought to be best left to human specialists. The ultimate ability to improve patient care and make precise diagnosis of illnesses has revolutionized the world of healthcare. In the field of dentistry, the competence to execute treatment measures while still providing appropriate patient behaviour counselling is in high demand, particularly in the field of paediatric dental care. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming pediatric dentistry by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, streamlining treatment planning, and improving behavior management. This review explores current AI applications in detecting dental anomalies, categorizing fissure sealants, early caries detection, oral habits early detection, orthodontic treatment planning, assessing chronological age, managing patient behavior and personalized oral hygiene education for pediatric patients. The review also identifies emerging trends and future directions in AI technology that promise to further revolutionize pediatric dental care. By synthesizing recent research and clinical studies, this review aimed to inform dental professionals and researchers about the potential of AI to address traditional challenges, improve oral health outcomes for children and an overview of AI’s applications in pediatric dentistry, particularly preventive dentistry, highlighting its potential to revolutionize traditional pediatric dental practices.
