The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry is a promising field that has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare sector and improve the quality of dental care. Researchers are also discussing methods of telemedicine health screening, including the use of questionnaires and AI to analyze the data obtained. AI can be used to automatically analyze X-rays and detect dental and gum disease, such as cavities, periodontitis and others. AI can help determine the best therapy and medication dosage for each patient based on his or her individual characteristics. Moreover, AI can be used to plan surgical procedures, such as dental implants. Also, current techniques include the use of telemedicine for online consultations, diagnosis, and treatment of dental and gum disease. For the purposes of this review, we will limit ourselves to a brief list of digital advances in caries diagnosis and prognosis.
Keywords: 
artificial intelligence in dentistry
artificial intelligence in caries diagnosis
early telemedical screening in dentistry
telemedical screening in diagnostics
digital medicine in restorative dentistry.
