Abstract

Intelligent systems’ capabilities have noticeably improved in image analyzing and learning the visual patterns. Integration of such progressions with recent advancements in diagnostic imaging techniques (i.e., panoramic radiography, computed tomography (CT), cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), surface scanners, and digital photographs) has significantly increased the artificial intelligence (AI) entrance opportunity into the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Today, various models have been designed to assist clinicians with an early and accurate diagnosis of the lesions. These models can predict the need for surgery as well as surgical outcomes and prognostic factors. By adding up the visual data with the omics, intelligent architectures would be able to create customized surgical and treatment plans. The objectivity of these plans increases the interventions’ consistency. In this chapter, first, we will discuss the recent advances in artificial intelligence applications in medicine generally. The further sections will explain the AI entrance in the field of dentistry and, more extensively, oral and maxillofacial surgery. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
