Diþ hekimliðinde yapay zeka uygulamalarý

Teknolojik geliþmeler hayatýn her alanýnda olduðu gibi saðlýk alanýnda da yeniliklerin ve deðiþimlerin yaþanmasýna sebep olmuþtur. Kullanýlan tedavi teknikleri ve dental materyaller nedeniyle diþ hekimliði mesleði teknolojik geliþmelerden büyük oranda etkilenen bir saðlýk alanýdýr. Son yüzyýlda özellikle yapay zekanýn geliþimi diþ hekimliði rutin klinik pratiðini ciddi derecede deðiþtirebilecek niteliktedir. Yapay zeka teknikleri ilk adýnýn duyulmasýnda bu yana diþ hekimliðindeki tüm uygulamalara entegre edilmeye çalýþýlmýþtýr. Teþhis koymada, tedavi planlamada ve hasta takip aþamalarýnda hata payýný en aza indirecek, zaman ve maliyet tasarrufu oluþturacak, hekime yardýmcý yapay zeka algoritmalarý çalýþmalarda gelecek vaat eden sonuçlar vermiþtir. Özellikle son yýllarda hýzlanarak artan teknolojik geliþmelerle birlikte yapýlan ilk çalýþmalarda kullanýlan makine öðrenimi, derin öðrenme gibi teknikler yerini insan beyin sinir sistemini taklit eden yapay sinir aðlarý kullanýlmaya baþlanmýþtýr. Yapay sinir aðlarý kullanýlarak yapýlan çalýþmalar daha yüksek doðruluk oraný ile sonuçlanmýþ ve daha baþarýlý bulunmuþtur. Yapay zeka algoritmalarýnýn en çok kullanýldýðý alan olan görüntü tanýma sistemleri özellikle diþ radyolojisi alanýnda yapýlan çalýþmalarýn hýz kazanmasýna neden olmuþtur. Radyoloji alanýnda yapýlan çalýþmalar tüm diþ hekimliði branþlarýný dolayýsýyla tüm diþ hekimlerini ilgilendirmektedir. Gelecekte sýklýkla karþýmýza çýkacak olan yapay zeka uygulamalarýna kayýtsýz kalmak mümkün olmayacaktýr. Bu derleme çalýþmasýnda yapay zeka ve yapay zekanýn diþ hekimliði uygulamalarýnda kullanýmý hakkýnda bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmýþtýr.

The applications of artificial intelligence in dentistry

Technological developments have led to innovations and changes in the field of health as well as in all areas of life. Due to the treatment techniques and dental materials used, the profession of dentistry is a health field that is greatly affected by technological developments. Especially in the last century, the development of artificial intelligence is capable of changing the routine clinical practice of dentistry. Artificial intelligence techniques have been tried to be integrated into all applications in dentistry since their first name was heard. Artificial intelligence algorithms that will minimize the margin of error, save time and cost in the diagnosis phase, treatment planning, and patient follow-up phases have yielded promising results in the studies. Especially in recent years, with the accelerated technological developments, techniques such as machine learning and deep learning, which were used in the first studies, have been replaced by artificial neural networks that imitate the human brain nervous system. Studies using artificial neural networks resulted in higher accuracy and were found to be more successful. Image recognition systems, which are the field where artificial intelligence algorithms are used most, have accelerated the studies especially in the field of dental radiology. Studies in the field of radiology concern all dentistry branches, therefore all dentists. It will not be possible to remain indifferent to artificial intelligence applications that will be encountered frequently in the future. In this review study, it is aimed to give information about artificial intelligence and the use of artificial intelligence in dentistry applications.
