虚拟人工智能在牙周病风险评估和诊断中应用的研究进展

Research progress in the application of virtual artificial intelligence in risk assessment and diagnosis of periodontal disease

牙周病是我国的常见病、多发病,牙周病的早发现、早诊断、早治疗对实现全民口腔健康乃至全身健康意义重大。人工智能赋予机器模仿人类智能行为的能力,在医疗领域通常使用物理和虚拟两种类型的人工智能。虚拟人工智能将人工智能赋能传统经验应用于牙周病风险评估和诊断中,有潜力开发多种口腔健康状况筛查工具、为牙周病预后判断提供新证据、提高诊断的准确性和效率,降低技术敏感性,进而推动牙周医疗由"治疗为主"向"预防为主"转变。本文对近期虚拟人工智能在牙周病风险评估和诊断方面的应用现状和进展进行综述,并探讨其局限性,为未来虚拟人工智能在该领域应用的研究提供思路。

Periodontal disease is a common and frequently-occurring disease in China.Early detection,diagnosis,and treatment of periodontal disease are of great significance for achieving universal oral health and even systemic health.Artificial intelligence endows machines with the ability to mimic human intelligent behavior,and is commonly used in medical field with both physical and virtual forms.Virtual artificial intelligence empowers traditional experience in the application of periodontal disease risk assessment and diagnosis,with the potential to develop a variety of oral health screening tools.It helps to provide new evidence for the prognosis of periodontal disease,improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis,reduce technical sensitivity and further promote the periodontal treatment transformation from"treatment-oriented"to"prevention-oriented".This paper reviews the current applications and progresses of virtual artificial intelligence in periodontal risk assessment and diagnosis,as well as its limitations,providing ideas for future researches on the application of virtual artificial intelligence in this field.
