Abstract :Artificial intelligence (AI)-based dentistry is becoming a reality with advancing technology. AI is widely used in medicine and dentistry, enabling machines to simulate human intelligence and decision-making processes. Its growing popularity stems from its transformative impact and breakthroughs in intelligent innovation. In dentistry, AI is particularly transformative in prosthetic dentistry, as it assists in the design and production of dentures, colour and material selection, and the fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses. Additionally, it reduces dentist’s workload in areas such as patient documentation, diagnosis, treatment planning, patient management, and dental education, enabling clinicians and researchers to work more efficiently. While AI cannot replace dentists, it supports them in offering the most appropriate treatment options to patients. The integration of AI and digitalization has introduced a new paradigm in dentistry, offering highly promising prospects. However, the primary obstacle to the effective use of AI is the availability of insufficient or inaccurate data. Therefore, dentists and clinicians should prioritize collecting and inputting accurate data into databases that will support AI applications in the near future. This study focuses on the various applications, limitations, and future scope of AI in prosthetic dentistry.
