Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the ability to process huge datasets, disclose human essence computationally, and perform like humans as technology advances. Because of the necessity for precise diagnosis and improved patient care, AI technology has greatly influenced the healthcare industry. In the domains of dentistry and medicine, artificial intelligence has yet to come a long way. As a result, dentists must be aware of the potential implications for a profitable clinical practise in the future. In this paper, we present the current applications of AI in dentistry. The different types of AI techniques are introduced and summarized. The state-of-the-art literature is studied analysed. A comparative analysis on the different AI techniques in dentistry is presented. Further, the research challenges in the field of dentistry and future directions are also provided.

As a complex endocrine and metabolic condition, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects women’s reproductive health. These common symptoms include hirsutism, hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, irregular menstruation, and infertility. No one knows what causes it or how to stop it yet. Alterations in gut microbiota composition and disruptions in secondary bile acid production appear to play a causative role in developing PCOS. PCOS pathophysiology and phenotypes are tightly related to both enteric and vaginal bacteria. Patients with PCOS exhibit changed microbiome compositions and decreased microbial diversity. Intestinal microorganisms also alter PCOS patient phenotypes by upregulating or downregulating hormone release, gut-brain mediators, and metabolite synthesis. The human body’s gut microbiota, also known as the “second genome,” can interact with the environment to improve metabolic and immunological function. Inflammation is connected to PCOS and may be caused by dysbiosis in the gut microbiome. This review sheds light on the recently discovered connections between gut microbiota and insulin resistance (IR) and the potential mechanisms of PCOS. This study also describes metabolomic studies to obtain a clear view of PCOS and ways to tackle it.

COVID-19 is a deadly serious infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, spreading widely with a rise in number of deaths every day. Because of the rapid transmission, various research domains have much responsibility to find a suitable drug or vaccine as soon as possible within a short time to save lives. Plant based chemical constituents serve as potential therapeutics against COVID-19, which is evident by current reports of screening phytochemicals against potential targets by computational techniques. Medicinal plants are used since ancient times and are known highly for their effective treatment of several infectious diseases. This review summarizes the use of medicinal plants to treat COVID-19 infection and aims to draw more attention towards investigating potent chemical constituents from medicinal plants.
