Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of dental implantology by enhancing every stage of treatment, from diagnostics and digital planning to intraoperative navigation, outcome prediction, and long-term follow-up. This narrative review explores the current and emerging applications of AI technologies in implant dentistry, with a focus on machine learning, neural networks, and computer vision. It examines how AI is utilized in digital implant planning, surgical navigation, peri-implant disease monitoring, risk assessment, and the prediction of treatment outcomes such as peri-implantitis and implant failure. These innovations contribute to more efficient workflows, more personalized treatment strategies, and improved cost-effectiveness of care. Finally, future perspectives and educational implications of AI integration in clinical implantology are discussed.
