Overview

Advances in technology and systems are being implemented in dental practice to improve patient care and overall patient experience as well as streamlining office workflow to improve clinical and operational efficiency. Trends have shown an increase in the use of teledentistry, digital dentistry using CAD/CAM with intraoral scanners, intraoral cameras, virtual reality, augmented intelligence, and artificial intelligence.

The American Dental Association Standards Committee on Dental Informatics Working Group 13.8 on Augmented Intelligence is releasing a long-anticipated whitepaper this year on dental imaging and AI.

Artificial intelligence has arrived at the dental clinic. Dental AI can now identify anatomy and disease with incredible levels of precision and present findings with compelling visuals for patient communication. The technology is poised to redefine how dental hygienists and clinicians are trained, practices operate, and insurers reimburse. In this course, clinicians and scientists working at the cutting edge of this technology will share the current capabilities of the technology and how hygiene providers are using dental AI today in their operations.
