Implications of artificial intelligence in periodontal treatment maintenance: a scoping review

Gingivitis and periodontitis, are widespread conditions with diverse influence on oral and systemic health. Traditional diagnostic methods in periodontology often rely on subjective clinical assessments, which can lead to variability and inconsistencies in care. Imbibing artificial intelligence (AI)...

description Gingivitis and periodontitis, are widespread conditions with diverse influence on oral and systemic health. Traditional diagnostic methods in periodontology often rely on subjective clinical assessments, which can lead to variability and inconsistencies in care. Imbibing artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates a significant solution by enhancing precision metrics, treatment planning, and personalized care. Studies published between 2018 and 2024 was conducted to evaluate AI applications in periodontal maintenance. Databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science and Scopus were searched using keywords like “artificial intelligence,” “machine learning,” and “periodontitis.” Studies employing AI for diagnosis, prognosis, or periodontal maintenance using clinical or radiographic data were included. Deep learning algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and segmentation techniques were analyzed for their diagnostic accuracy. AI demonstrated superior performance in detecting periodontal conditions, with accuracy rates surpassing 90% in some studies. Advanced models, such as Multi-Label U-Net, exhibited high precision in radiographic analyses, outperforming traditional methods. Additionally, AI facilitated predictive analytics for disease progression and personalized treatment strategies. AI has transformed periodontal care, offering accuracy, personalized care, and efficient workflow integration. Addressing challenges like standardization and ethical concerns is critical for its broader adoption.
