This book on 3D printing in oral health science aims to equip the reader with a sound understanding of contemporary clinical applications in all fields of dentistry and their future directions. In the last few years, the development of 3D printing for medical and dental applications has increased tremendously. Advancements in 3D printing create the possibility of customized products, savings on small-scale productions, ease of sharing and processing of patient image data, and educational up-gradation. Looking at the dental specialties, it is evident that 3D printing has applications in all aspects of oral health science including prosthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics. This book will cover all major fields in dentistry and will help the practitioner in the process of decision-making and apply concepts in clinical or laboratory practice. It is based on current scientific evidence to provide readers with an up-to-date contemporary understanding of the subject, both from the clinical and the technological side. The book is a valuable asset for all who specialize in 3D printing and for those interested in learning more about this field.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient care across diverse disciplines. Dentistry is now at the forefront of this innovation, with AI''s ability to process complex data to improve clinical practice, empower patients, and address public health challenges.

This richly illustrated book offers a deeper understanding of the foundational concepts of AI, its practical applications in oral health, and the possibilities that lie ahead. From oral pathology to maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics to orthodontics, and endodontics to dental education, it presents compelling, evidence-based insights into how AI is changing the landscape of dentistry.

Beyond its clinical potential, the book tackles the key risks and challenges associated with AI implementation. It provides a thoughtful roadmap for addressing ethical considerations, encouraging transparency, and developing solutions that prioritize both innovation and patient well-being.

Written for dental professionals and an interdisciplinary audience, including educators, researchers, policymakers, and the public, this book serves as both a guide and a call to action for responsibly embracing AI''s transformative power.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, an academic, or simply curious about the intersection of AI and healthcare, this book will inspire and inform your journey into the future of dentistry.
