AI-Assisted CBCT Data Management in Modern Dental Practice: Benefits, Limitations and Innovations
Open accessAbstract
Within the next decade, artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally transform the workflow of modern dental practice. This paper reviews the innovations and new roles of dental assistants in CBCT data management with the support of AI. Its use in 3D data management brings new roles for dental assistants. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology is, together with intraoral 3D scans and 3D facial scans, commonly used 3D diagnostic in a modern digital dental practice. This paper provides an overview of the potential benefits of AI implementation for semiautomated segmentations in standard medical diagnostic workflows in dental practice. It discusses whether AI tools can enable healthcare professionals to increase their reliability, effectiveness, and usefulness, and addresses the potential limitations and errors that may occur. The paper concludes that current AI solutions can improve current digital workflows including CBCT data management. Automated CBCT segmentation is one of the current trends and innovations. It can assist professionals in obtaining an accurate 3D image in a reduced period of time, thus enhancing the efficiency of the whole process. The segmentation of CBCT serves as a helpful tool for treatment planning as well as communicating the problem to the patient in an understandable way. This paper highlights a high bias risk due to the inadequate sample size and incomplete reporting in many studies. It proposes enhancing dental workflow efficiency and accuracy through AI-supported cbct data management

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
