Health care is entering a new era where data mining is applied to artificial intel-ligence. The number of dental implant systems has been increasing worldwide. Patient mobility from different dental offices can make identification of implants for clinicians extremely challenging if there are no past available records, and it would be advantageous to use a reliable tool to identify the various implant system de-signs in the same practice, as there is a great need for identifying the systems in the field of periodontology and restorative dentistry. However, there have not been any studies devoted to using artificial intelligence/convolutional neural networks to clas-sify implant attributes. Thus, the present study used artificial intelligence to identify the attributes of radiographic images of implants. An average accuracy rate of over 95% was achieved with various machine learning networks to identify three implant manufacturers and their subtypes placed during the past 9 years.
