Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made it possible for machines to perform human tasks. Healthcare is one of the main fields where AI and machine learning have been successfully employed. There have been many articles presenting the various applications of AI and its favorable outcomes in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. It may be difficult for dental researchers to understand and interpret these studies since they are different in methodology. In addition, they are unfamiliar with the definitions and terminology used in these articles. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an explanation of the terms and concepts frequently used in AI articles and, specifically, in the following two chapters where we discussed its current application in maxillofacial surgery and its future.
