Innovative computer techniques including artificial intelligence technique have been widely used in many areas, including dentistry. Increasing requirements in the field of diagnostics and dental treatment are conducive to the digitization of many areas of dentistry. The mentioned diagnosis and treatment are based on the knowledge of a specialist. The introduction of artificial neural networks (ANN) makes it possible to support the doctor's decision regarding the diagnosis and treatment plan. The article presents the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence in the field of paediatric dentistry, both in terms of diagnostics and in the treatment process. There are many publications and ongoing research on the use of machine learning methods for dental treatment. Various types of analysis are based on digital images such as intraoral photographs, panoramic images, computed tomography images, and cephalometric radiography. StreszczenieInnowacyjne techniki komputerowe, w tym możliwości, jakie daje sztuczna inteligencja, znajdują coraz szersze zastosowanie w wielu dziedzinach stomatologii. Coraz większe wymagania w zakresie diagnostyki i leczenia sprzyjają cyfryzacji wielu dziedzin stomatologii. Diagnoza i leczenie są oparte na wiedzy specjalisty. Wprowadzenie sztucznych sieci neuronowych pozwala na wspomaganie decyzji lekarza dotyczącej diagnozy i planu leczenia. W artykule przedstawiono możliwości, jakie daje sztuczna inteligencja w dziedzinie stomatologii dziecięcej zarówno w zakresie diagnostyki, jak i w procesie leczenia. Trwają aktywne badania nad zastosowaniem uczenia maszynowego opartego na sztucznych sieciach neuronowych do leczenia stomatologicznego poprzez analizę różnego rodzaju obrazów, takich jak fotografie wewnątrzustne, zdjęcia panoramiczne, obrazy tomografii komputerowej i radiografii cefalometrycznej.

Acceptable speed of tooth movement in orthodontics is main limiting factor in treatment time. Although there are many devices and accessories which helps to move teeth – big forces in small period can cause complications like tooth resorption. The paper aimed to verify low-intensity pulsed ultrasound as method to accelerate orthodontic movement. A literature review from 2002-2020 using data bases like PubMed and Medline was performed. LIPUS orthodontics, LIPUS in dentistry, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. 35 articles associated with the aim of this review were chosen and analyzed. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasounds start biological sequence on molecular level. Reactions on cellular structures accelerate bone healing and reduce negative effects and complications during treatment. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasounds have positive impact on bone wounds healing, treating developmental bone defects, cartilage and soft tissues reactions, tooth resorption, teeth tissue and periodontal regeneration and on orthodontic treatment acceleration.
