These technologies enable the analysis of large datasets to identify patterns and correlations that inform clinical decision-making. By leveraging algorithms such as convolutional neural networks and decision trees, AI systems can assess patient-specific factors, procedural variables, and material properties with unprecedented accuracy. Applications include analyzing stress and strain patterns in restorative materials, detecting microleakages and marginal discrepancies through imaging data, and predicting long-term outcomes based on patient follow-ups. Machine learning models, particularly deep learning architectures, excel in processing complex datasets, such as 3D imaging and intraoral scans, enabling personalized treatment plans and optimizing restoration design. AI-based diagnostic tools have integrated into clinical workflows to enhance procedural precision, offering real-time feedback during treatments and assisting with material selection tailored to individual needs. These advancements have not only improved patient outcomes but have also streamlined clinical workflows by reducing human error and variability. However, challenges such as data fragmentation, algorithm interpretability, and ethical considerations remain significant barriers to widespread adoption. Efforts to standardize datasets, develop explainable AI models, and address data privacy concerns are critical for overcoming these limitations. Future developments in AI-powered dental applications include interdisciplinary collaborations, integration with preventive dentistry, and the expansion of personalized care. These innovations hold the potential to reshape restorative dentistry, offering enhanced diagnostic accuracy, efficient workflows, and improved patient satisfaction. </p> </abstract> <kwd-group> <kwd> artificial intelligence</kwd> <kwd> machine learning</kwd> <kwd> dental restorations</kwd> <kwd> predictive modeling</kwd> <kwd> restorative dentistry</kwd> </kwd-group> </article-meta> </front> </article>
