Abstract:
Dental caries is a common oral health problem that affects people all over the world. Diagnosing and treating it may be quite difficult. In order to ensure successful treatment and prevent the development of serious infections, early identification is essential. Visual examination and radiographic imaging are two common examples of traditional diagnostic techniques that often fail to reliably detect early-stage caries and differentiate them from non-carious diseases. New developments in artificial intelligence (also known as AI have improved the accuracy and efficacy of caries detection, which presents practical options.
