Identifying and addressing cavities has proven to be particularly difficult for professionals in the field of preventive dentistry due to the shortcomings of traditional visual and radiographic examinations that capture images of demineralized and weakened enamel. Developing technologies in the field of digital imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to capture images of early carious lesions with greater accuracy. The purpose of this article is to offer the preliminary potential clinical role of AI-driven intraoral imaging in the early detection of caries.
