Abstract：
In the realm of dentistry, a myriad of technological advancements, including teledentistry, virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and three-dimensional printing, have been extensively embraced and rigorously evaluated, consistently demonstrating their remarkable effectiveness. These innovations have ushered in a transformative era in dentistry, impacting every facet of the field. They encompass activities ranging from the diagnosis and exploration of oral health conditions to the formulation of treatment plans, execution of surgical procedures, fabrication of prosthetics, and even assistance in patient distraction, prognosis, and disease prevention. Despite the significant strides already taken, the relentless pursuit of new horizons fueled by human curiosity remains unabated. The future landscape of dentistry holds the promise of sweeping changes, notably characterized by enhanced accessibility to dental care and reduced treatment durations. In this comprehensive review article, we delve into the pivotal roles played by AI, VR, augmented reality, mixed reality, and extended reality within the realm of dentistry, with a particular emphasis on their applications in oral medicine, oral radiology, oral surgery, and oral pathology. These technologies represent just a fraction of the technological arsenal currently harnessed in the field of dentistry. A thorough comprehension of their advantages and limitations is imperative for informed decision-making in their utilization.
摘要：
在牙科领域，无数的技术进步，包括远程牙科，虚拟现实(VR)人工智能(AI)和三维打印，得到了广泛的接受和严格的评估，不断证明其显著的有效性。这些创新开创了牙科领域的变革时代，影响了这个领域的方方面面。它们包括从口腔健康状况的诊断和探索到治疗计划的制定等活动，外科手术的执行，假肢的制造，甚至帮助患者分心，预后,和疾病预防。尽管已经取得了重大进展，人类好奇心推动的对新视野的不懈追求仍然没有减弱。未来的牙科前景有望彻底改变，其特点是牙科护理的可及性增强，治疗持续时间缩短。在这篇全面的综述文章中，我们深入研究了人工智能扮演的关键角色，VR,增强现实,混合现实，以及牙科领域的延伸现实，特别强调它们在口腔医学中的应用，口腔放射学,口腔外科,和口腔病理学。这些技术仅占目前牙科领域技术库的一小部分。彻底理解它们的优点和局限性对于在利用它们时做出明智的决策至关重要。
