RESUMEN
As new technologies emerge, they continue to have an impact on our daily lives, and artificial intelligence (AI) covers a wide range of applications. Because of the advancements in AI, it is now possible to analyse large amounts of data, which results in more accurate data and more effective decision-making. This article explains the fundamentals of AI and examines its development and present use. AI technology has had an impact on the healthcare sector as a result of the need for accurate diagnosis and improved patient care. An overview of the existing AI applications in clinical dentistry was provided. Comprehensive care involving artificial intelligence aims to provide cutting-edge research and innovations, as well as high-quality patient care, by enabling sophisticated decision support tools. The cornerstone of AI advancement in dentistry is creative inter-professional coordination among medical professionals, scientists, and engineers. Artificial intelligence will continue to be associated with dentistry from a wide angle despite potential misconceptions and worries about patient privacy. This is because precise treatment methods and quick data sharing are both essential in dentistry. Additionally, these developments will make it possible for patients, academicians, and healthcare professionals to exchange large data on health as well as provide insights that enhance patient care.
RESUMEN
Odontoma is a hamartomatous benign odontogenic tumor that may resemble tooth-like structures. Odontomas can impede the eruption of the permanent underlying tooth or can cause devitalization of the tooth resulting in pain and swelling near the tooth, causing diagnostic dilemmas to the dentist. We describe a case of an unusual occurrence of such an odontoma in a 31-year-old male patient in the periapical region of a broken, discolored maxillary central incisor tooth causing a diagnostic dilemma and its treatment.
