Abstract | ||||
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the field of dentistry, particularly in fixed prosthodontics. With capabilities ranging from diagnosis and treatment planning to digital impressions and prosthesis design, as well as outcome prediction, AI enhances accuracy, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. This narrative review explores the applications, benefits, challenges, and future potential of AI in fixed prosthodontics, highlighting current technologies such as machine learning, neural networks, and computer vision, and their integration with digital workflows, including CAD/CAM and intraoral scanning. Despite its transformative promise, AI adoption faces limitations related to data quality, clinical validation, and ethical concerns. This review highlights the significance of education and regulatory frameworks in facilitating the safe and effective deployment of AI in prosthodontic practice. | ||||
