G. Abstract: This book explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms in contemporary dentistry and offers step-by-step guidance through real-life cases. It is divided into two main sections. The first section presents a systematic approach to AI-assisted diagnostic procedures, including anatomical assessment of the jaws, detection of caries and tooth wear, evaluation of oral lesions, and periodontal analysis. It also examines the current limitations and ethical considerations surrounding the deployment of AI in diagnostic contexts. The second section delves into AI-based digital planning tools, covering advanced techniques in tissue segmentation, orthodontic treatment planning, oral surgical simulations, and prosthetic and restorative design. Each chapter integrates theoretical foundations with clinical applications, supported by emerging research and case-based insights. This book serves as a resource for integrating artificial intelligence into dental workflows, offering evidence-based guidance and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between dental science and computational innovation.

G. Abstract: Digital workflow in Dentistry has widely been known as the advent of digital technologies such as Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) to enhance oral diagnosis and the predictability of dental treatments. In this process, digital impressions of the dental arches and occlusal registrations are taken by means of intraoral or desktop scanners and exported as Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files. These can be superimposed to facial 3D scans or photographs for esthetic analyses.

G. Abstract: Among the requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in dentistry are vast amounts of high-quality and expertly labeled data. In dental radiology, labeled data (also known as “annotated data”) can be created by human experts by manually identifying and marking features of interest on an image. In this context, anatomical structures and tooth parts and can be detected, measured, and classified in relation to patient demographic features, such as age and gender. This chapter discusses the usefulness of AI-assisted assessment of teeth and maxillofacial anatomy in dentistry.
