With technological hindrances decreasing and research turning to development, we are on the threshold of a range of Deep-Learning enabled smart tools for dentistry called Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is machine intelligence demonstrated in contrary to the intelligence of humans/animals. Starting from smart teeth scan while brushing, to smart scheduling, to smart patient communication, it can be used in data computation, as well as cloud computing through which an algorithm can be created which will help in diagnosis and will provide probable treatment options. It will have the major role in every branch of dentistry. Therefore, getting an in-depth knowledge of the various concepts, techniques and technologies involved will help with having a clear advantage in the future when it is time to adapt to the change with redefined roles for a rewarding practice.
