In machine learning a datasets are used for training diagnostic algorithms. This review comprehensively explains the applications of AI in the diagnosis in paediatric dentistry. The online database searches were performed between 25th May 2024 to 1st July 2024. Original research studies that focus on the automated diagnosis or predicted the outcome in Paediatric dentistry using AI were included in this review. AI is being used in varied domains of paediatric dentistry like diagnosis of supernumerary and submerged teeth, early diagnosis of dental caries, diagnosis of dental plaques, assessment of bone age, forensic dentistry and preventive oral dental healthcare kit. The field of AI, deep machine learning and CNN's is an upcoming and newer area, with new developments this will open up areas for more sophisticated algorithms in multiple layers to predict accurately, when compared to experienced Paediatric dentists.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/froh.2024.1482334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,24]],"date-time":"2024-12-24T06:40:01Z","timestamp":1735022401000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["An overview of artificial intelligence based automated diagnosis in paediatric dentistry"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Suba B.","family":"Rajinikanth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Densingh Samuel Raj","family":"Rajkumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akshay","family":"Rajinikanth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ponsekar Abraham","family":"Anandhapandian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bhuvaneswarri","family":"J.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"89","volume-title":"Artificial Intelligence (AI).
