Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient care across diverse disciplines. Dentistry is now at the forefront of this innovation, with AI's ability to process complex data to improve clinical practice, empower patients, and address public health challenges.

This richly illustrated book offers a deeper understanding of the foundational concepts of AI, its practical applications in oral health, and the possibilities that lie ahead. From oral pathology to maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics to orthodontics, and endodontics to dental education, it presents compelling, evidence-based insights into how AI is changing the landscape of dentistry.

Beyond its clinical potential, the book tackles the key risks and challenges associated with AI implementation. It provides a thoughtful roadmap for addressing ethical considerations, encouraging transparency, and developing solutions that prioritize both innovation and patient well-being.

Written for dental professionals and an interdisciplinary audience, including educators, researchers, policymakers, and the public, this book serves as both a guide and a call to action for responsibly embracing AI's transformative power.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, an academic, or simply curious about the intersection of AI and healthcare, this book will inspire and inform your journey into the future of dentistry.
