Conference summary
It’s an undeniable fact: artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly a part of our daily lives, and dentistry is no exception, taking advantage of what best AI has to offer.
In recent years, there have been many technological advances that dentistry has tried to keep up with, whether it is in aiding diagnosis, establishing a treatment plan or in the techniques adopted to provide a more effective service.
Examples such as intraoral scanning and other equipment or software are already a reality in which AI plays a fundamental role. AI is also proving to be very useful in team and clinic management and in optimising results. However, we are still at the beginning of a long journey in exploring the potential of this powerful tool.
If, on the one hand, it represents advances that were once unimaginable, AI may cause ethical constraints for the practice of dentistry and raise questions about the limits to its use, in the conflict between clinical decision-making and the human aspect. How far can artificial intelligence take us in dentistry?
