Artificial intelligence in forensic odontology: A review

Abstract

Over the past few decades, there have been numerous technological breakthroughs that have been incorporated into our daily lives. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of engineering science that studies computers' computational comprehension and capacity to emulate the human brain in order to display intelligent behavior and carry out tasks with ease. It has started to make an impact on the medical and dental fields as well. The use of virtual reality in dentistry has made a variety of tasks possible, including data collection and even virtual surgery. Presently AI is making significant enhancements in forensic dentistry as well by improving the methods and process of individual identification. This review highlights the role of artificial intelligence in forensic odontology.
