Title: Mini Review on Dental Imaging Devices and Use of Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry

Abstract: Discovery of X-Rays is the beginning point of the medical imaging which developed and diversified in years. Since early days of X-Ray discovery they are used in also for imaging of teeth, in 1896, Dr. Otto Walkhoff imaged his mouth with X-Ray exposure. X-Rays helped the dentists to diagnose tooth decays and bone loss, examine dental structures and identify abnormalities of these structures. Today developments in technology resulted in different imaging techniques, X-Rays are used for Projectional Radiography and Computed Tomography, besides there are Nuclear Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound Imaging that widely used. In this review, imaging techniques for dental applications with the extension of artificial intelligence is examined to provide a brief information.

Keywords: Dental imaging; medical imaging techniques; artificial intelligence

Özet: X-Işınlarının keşfi, yıllar içinde gelişen ve çeşitlenen tıbbi görüntülemenin başlangıç noktasıdır. X-Işınlarının keşfinin ilk günlerinden beri, dişlerin görüntülenmesinde de kullanılmaktadırlar, 1896’da Dr. Otto Walkhoff ağzını X-Ray ile görüntülemiştir. Röntgenler, diş hekimlerinin diş çürüklerini ve kemik kaybını teşhis etmesine, diş yapılarını incelemesine ve bu yapıların anormalliklerini belirlemesine yardımcı oldu. Günümüzde teknolojideki gelişmeler farklı görüntüleme teknikleri ile sonuçlanmıştır, X-Ray’ler Projeksiyonel Radyografi ve Bilgisayarlı Tomografi için kullanılmakta, ayrıca yaygın olarak kullanılan Nükleer Görüntüleme, Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme ve Ultrason Görüntüleme bulunmaktadır. Bu incelemede, yapay zeka uzantısı ile dental uygulamalar için görüntüleme teknikleri incelenerek kısa bir bilgi verilecektir.
