Materials and methods: The comprehensive review was conducted in MEDLINE/ PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, for papers published in English language in the last 20 years. Results: Out of 3871 eligible papers, 120 were included for final appraisal. Study methodologies included deep learning (DL; n = 76), fuzzy logic (FL; n = 12), and other ML techniques (n = 32), which were mainly applied to disease identification, image segmentation, image correction, and biomimetic color analysis and modeling. Conclusions: The insight provided by the present work has reported outstanding results in the design of high-performance decision support systems for the aforementioned areas. The future of digital dentistry goes through the design of integrated approaches providing personalized treatments to patients. In addition, esthetic dentistry can benefit from those advances by developing models allowing a complete characterization of tooth color, enhancing the accuracy of dental restorations. Clinical significance: The use of AI and ML has an increasing impact on the dental profession and is complementing the development of digital technologies and tools, with a wide application in treatment planning and esthetic dentistry procedures.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Sciences, Innovation and Universities RTI2018-101674-B-I00 PGC2018-101904-A-100}, organization = {University of Granada project A.TEP. 280.UGR18}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia P20-00200}, organization = {Fapergs/Capes do Brasil grant 19/25510000928-3}, organization = {Universidad de Granada/CBUA}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell Publishing}, keywords = {Artificial intelligence}, keywords = {Deep learning}, keywords = {Dentistry}, keywords = {Machine learning}, title = {Applications of artificial intelligence in dentistry: A comprehensive review}, doi = {10.1111/jerd.12844}, author = {Carrillo Pérez, Francisco and Morales Vega, Juan Carlos and Ghinea, Razvan Ionut and Pulgar Encinas, Rosa María and Pérez Gómez, María Del Mar and Herrera Maldonado, Luis Javier}, }
