Abstract

The burgeoning fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science are poised to revolutionize evidence-based dentistry (EBD) by providing unprecedented tools for analyzing vast datasets. Traditionally, EBD has relied on systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which can be time-consuming and limited in scope. This paper explores how AI and data science can bridge this gap by accelerating the synthesis of scientific literature, identifying novel patterns in patient data, and providing real-time clinical decision support. We discuss the application of machine learning for predicting treatment outcomes, the use of natural language processing (NLP) to mine dental literature, and the integration of big data analytics to uncover insights from electronic health records. By leveraging these technologies, we can move towards a more dynamic and personalized form of EBD, where clinical decisions are informed not only by aggregated population data but also by individual patient characteristics. The paper also addresses the challenges of data quality, privacy, and the need for new frameworks to validate AI-driven evidence. Ultimately, the synergy between AI, data science, and EBD will lead to a more precise, efficient, and predictive era of dental healthcare.
