Artificial intelligence is gaining very much popularity in various fields, out of which dentistry is also one of it. It is also owing a significant impact in different fields of science and innovations. Artificial intelligence is emerging as a key beneficiaries particularly in the field of dentistry. In the field of prosthodontics artificial intelligence has its major role in terms of machine learning, deep learning and neural networks. Along with streamlining the diagnosis and treatment planning as well as fabrication of the prosthesis. Artificial intelligence helps in designing the custom fits crowns as well as custom fit bridges, as well as custom fit dentures, this helps in reducing the chair side time of the dentist and helps in improving the better results. in the field of Implantology, artificial intelligence plays an important role in diagnosis as well as treatment planning, by checking the bone quality, by checking the bone quantity, by checking the amount of the bone available for the placement of the implant, these all findings will be done by using CBCT, which is known as cone beam computed tomography, this imaging technique provides the better results with three dimensional view of the anatomy of the bone, and this is providing promising results in the diagnosis and treatment planning protocols and enhancing the better results after the placement of the implant. Artificial intelligence tools also helps in assessing the occlusal scheme of the patient, it also helps in guiding the shade selection.
In removable prosthodontics, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) enabled the automated classification of partially edentulous arches and supports facial aesthetics prediction. For maxillofacial prostheses, AI facilitates digital rehabilitation with smart devices, improving comfort and esthetics. Despite these advantages, challenges such as data privacy concerns, lack of standardization, high implementation costs and the necessity of clinical validation remains. Importantly, human expertise and clinical judgment are indispensible, as AI functions best when combined with professional oversight. With responsible integration, AI has the potential to advance dental education, streamline prosthodontics practice and support precision-driven, patient-centered care. Thus AI marks a transformative shift in prosthodontics, paving the way for greater efficiency, personalization and innovation in dental treatment.
