Artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered significant attention in recent years for its potential to revolutionize healthcare, including dentistry. However, despite the growing body of literature on AI-based dental image analysis, challenges such as the integration of AI into clinical workflows, variability in dataset quality, and the lack of standardized evaluation metrics remain largely underexplored. This systematic review aims to address these gaps by assessing the extent to which AI technologies have been integrated into dental specialties, with a specific focus on their applications in dental imaging. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted, selecting relevant studies through electronic searches from Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases, covering publications from 2018 to 2023. A total of 52 articles were systematically analyzed to evaluate the diverse approaches of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in dental imaging. This review reveals that AI has become increasingly prevalent, with researchers predominantly employing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for detection and diagnosis tasks. Pretrained networks demonstrate strong performance in many scenarios, while ML techniques have shown growing utility in estimation and classification. Key challenges identified include the need for larger, annotated datasets and the translation of research outcomes into clinical practice. The findings underscore AI’s potential to significantly advance diagnostic support, particularly for non-specialist dentists, improving patient care and clinical efficiency. AI-driven software can enhance diagnostic accuracy, facilitate data sharing, and support collaboration among dental professionals. Future developments are anticipated to enable patient-specific optimization of restoration designs and implant placements, leveraging personalized data such as dental history, tissue type, and bone thickness to achieve better outcomes.
Solar energy is increasingly becoming a significant source of clean energy. It harnesses a lot of benefits including the social, environmental, and economic asp
Renewable energy sources for power generation have gained popularity in recent years due to various advantages, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a
Asset management is helping to increase of solar plant’s lifespan and raising the growth of the portfolio. The improvement and optimization of the plant design and implementation reduce the capital cost of the solar plant. There are considerable difficulties facing asset management. In recent years some issues have been escalating in the industry making it crucial to the analysis. However, the Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) continues to decline becoming cost-competitive with conventional generation. This paper addresses the importance of maintaining the solar plant and identifies the challenges for maintenance and repair faced by asset managers. The study has pointed out the importance of the integration of computerized maintenance management for the development of asset management. Analysis shows that technology advances at an accelerated rate, there will be several opportunities to reduce costs in the near future. Due to the fast growing of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) the accuracy of the data will be improved. The analysis shows that there is a continuing discussion over which approach fits well and to keep LCA analysis moving forward and enhancing its precision and usability. The result shows the existence of proper asset management is required for strategic success and economic benefit. Finally, this will lead to help in the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by extending the life span of assets, their usability and improve risk management.
