description With the significant growth of modern technology and its integration into many different industries, especially in the healthcare sector, artificial intelligence is one of the critical methods contributing to the development of medical fields, including dentistry. It possesses important and influential techniques that contribute to improving the results of patient care, diagnosis, treatment planning, and tracking the spread of diseases. These techniques play a major role in assisting dentists in diagnosing patients with high efficiency and accuracy. In this review, artificial intelligence techniques in developing the field of dentistry will be reviewed by highlighting the most important literature in which these techniques are involved. A search was conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases from 2018 to 2023, where many articles were found (n=432), and articles that did not meet the selection criteria were excluded, resulting in thirty included. These articles involve artificial intelligence techniques in six areas: periodontal, dental implantology, forensic dentistry, oral medicine and pathology, orthodontics, and diagnostics/dentistry. In addition, this review presents matters related to artificial intelligence in dentistry, including data security, ethical concerns, and developing dentists' skills. This article finds that deep learning methods are widely utilized in the growth of dentistry, as the results show the accuracy of the results obtained, which is equivalent to the accuracy of professionals, and that it contributes to reducing human errors and revolutionizing the improvement of patient outcomes.
