Selected Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry papers
FDI White Paper on Artificial Intelligence - DOWNLOAD PDF
The FDI White Paper on Artificial Intelligence explores AI's potential benefits and challenges in dentistry across four key domains: individual patient care, community and public health, education and the workforce, and research. AI can improve patient care through image analysis, predictive dentistry, evidence-backed planning, therapeutic recommendations, and patient communication. It also plays a vital role in oral health surveillance and serving underserved populations. In education, workforce planning, diversification, and research, AI promises significant impacts. However, there are concerns regarding bias, accessibility, interoperability, and data protection when implementing AI in dentistry.
Who should read this paper? Every dentist who wants to understand AI technology and its potential impact on dental practice. By understanding the opportunities and challenges associated with AI in dentistry, dentists can make informed decisions about integrating this technology into their practice to improve patient outcomes while ensuring data protection and ethical considerations are met.
