Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a revolution in the area of technology that is seeing fast progress. AI has been at the center of discussion among radiologists.Common fiction has always depicted the farfetched risks of AI but the element of truth is that AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we work in the twenty first century. Since its formation, dentistry has seen some of its impressive accomplishments.
Dentists will be comfortable with this technology because the future of dentistry must certainly require the introduction of its
multiple technologies and the computer generated expertise of specialists in automated dental radiographic analysis. Automation may help to save time and enhance the procedures.
Although AI cannot substitute the position of dentist or oral-radiologist, the precise and efficient analysing of radiographic images by artificial neural networks provides interesting diagnostic possibilities for the future and would definitely be an important part of oral radiology.

Abstract In recent years, a number of life-threatening human pathogens have emerged. A novel coronavirus-related disease, known as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), was first reported in Wuhan, China. The pathogen of COVID-19 has been identified as SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 proceeded to spread in China and around the world, reaching pandemic proportions. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused huge human casualties and serious economic losses, posing a global threat. The continued periodic emergence of the coronavirus poses a major threat to human health and the economy. Ironically, even after a decade of research on coronaviruses, there is still no licensed vaccine or therapeutic agent to treat coronavirus infection. This highlights the importance of early warning and preventive measures in public health agencies to prevent future pandemics. Here, I draw on media reports and expertise to sum up my experience prior to the widespread outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. I believe this can serve as a reference for the prevention of COVID-19 and an aid for control systems of public health agencies to improve epidemic monitoring and early warning.
