AI is rapidly evolving in dental care, impacting all aspects of the industry. This course focuses on AI in dental imaging, highlighting its implications in dental education. Traditionally, clinicians and students rely on training and experience to evaluate dental structures during imaging. Today, AI enhances diagnostic capabilities, detecting subtle issues like incipient decay, periapical lesions and bone loss that are often missed. The course covers AI terminology, scientific validation and clinical applications, using anatomical and diagnostic scenarios to illustrate artificial intelligence’s benefits when it comes to teaching oral radiology in a dental school.
Learning Objectives:
Assess artificial intelligence in dental imaging, defining key terms and its applications in dental imaging.
Recognize artificial intelligence’s diagnostic benefits in dental education.
Integrate artificial intelligence into the dental curriculum.
