This document is a journal pre-proof article exploring the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the field of dentistry. The authors, a team of dental professionals primarily from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, review AI's applications across dental education, patient care, and practice management. They discuss how AI is being used in areas such as diagnostics, treatment planning, and administrative tasks. The article also acknowledges the limitations and ethical considerations associated with AI, such as data privacy and potential biases. Despite these challenges, the authors suggest that AI has a promising future in dentistry, with ongoing research aimed at refining its capabilities and expanding its applications to improve the delivery of dental care. Ultimately, they envision AI as a supportive tool rather than a replacement for human expertise in the dental field.
