Code to Crown: Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry

Code & Crown explores how artificial intelligence is redefining dentistry, from diagnostics to prosthodontics, education, and patient care. Written for students, young dentists, and professionals, it simplifies Al fundamentals and demonstrates real-world applications such as caries detection, radiographic interpretation, oral cancer screening, and digital prosthesis design. The book highlights how Al enhances efficiency and precision while addressing critical ethical, legal, and regulatory responsibilities. With dedicated sections on dental education, haptic simulators, adaptive learning, and global research frontiers like digital twins, robotics, and predictive modeling, Code & Crown offers a roadmap to integrate Al responsibly into modern practice. Far from replacing clinicians, it emphasizes how Al strengthens human expertise, empowering dentists to deliver smarter, safer, and more patient centered care in an evolving digital era.
