Abstract
In recent years,China has continued to face a high prevalence of oral diseases,along with uneven access to high-quality dental care.Against this backdrop,artificial intelligence(AI),as a data-driven,algorithm-supported,and model-centered technology system,has rapidly expanded its role in transforming the landscape of stomatology.This review summarizes recent advances in the application of AI in stomatology across clinical care,biomedical and materials research,education,and hospital man-agement.In clinical settings,AI has improved diagnostic accuracy,streamlined treatment planning,and enhanced surgical precision and efficiency.In research,machine learning has accelerated the identifica-tion of disease biomarkers,deepened insights into the oral microbiome,and supported the development of novel biomaterials.In education,AI has enabled the construction of knowledge graphs,facilitated per-sonalized learning,and powered simulation-based training,driving innovation in teaching methodologies.Meanwhile,in hospital operations,intelligent agents based on large language models(LLMs)have been widely deployed for intelligent triage,structured pre-consultations,automated clinical documentation,and quality control,contributing to more standardized and efficient healthcare delivery.Building on these foundations,a multi-agent collaborative framework centered around an AI assistant for stomatology is gradually emerging,integrating task-specific agents for imaging,treatment planning,surgical navigation,follow-up prediction,patient communication,and administrative coordination.Through shared interfaces and unified knowledge systems,these agents support seamless human-AI collaboration across the full con-tinuum of care.Despite these achievements,the broader deployment of AI still faces challenges including data privacy,model robustness,cross-institution generalization,and interpretability.Addressing these is-sues will require the development of federated learning frameworks,multi-center validation,causal rea-soning approaches,and strong ethical governance.With these foundations in place,AI is poised to move from a supportive tool to a trusted partner in advancing accessible,efficient,and high-quality stomatology services in China.关键词
