Artificial intelligence, which has developed rapidly in recent years and become the focus of attention in different sectors, is also very popular in the field of health. These applications aim to reduce human expertise, cost and medical error, save time and increase efficiency and accuracy. The main area of interest of artificial intelligence in healthcare is the creation of artificial intelligence programs that can perform clinical diagnosis and make treatment recommendations. The development of artificial intelligence in the field of dentistry is remarkable. However, these attempts started after medical applications and are still in the early stages. Considering the connection between dentistry and technology artificial intelligence applications have the potential of developing in dental practices. The main problem of studies regarding artificial intelligence in dentistry is the difficulties experienced in data organization, processing and editing. Studies usually carried out by making data sets ready for artificial intelligence models, and therefore resulted in high accuracy. There are very few studies on artificial intelligence in the field of pediatric dentistry. However, in recent years, the number of studies reported on the application of artificial intelligence models in this field has been increasing rapidly in parallel with the number of studies in general dentistry. As the availability of data increases, artificial intelligence applications have begun to prove their benefits in various pediatric dental practices. This review aimed to enlighten the use of artificial intelligence mainly in the field of pediatric dentistry and highlight the current developments in this field.
