ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence and its Impact to the Dental Healthcare Ecosystem

Artificial intelligence is sending shockwaves through the dental industry. Dental AI can 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 dentists are trained, practices operate, and insurers reimburse. In this course, clinicians working at the forefront of this technology will share the current capabilities of the technology.
