AI is Transforming Your Smile
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing many fields, and dentistry is no exception. Dental AI-powered systems integrated into practice management software to help calibrate professionals. The following are examples of several AI systems that are making an impact in dentistry to aid with diagnosis and treatment planning.
Several AI systems are making a big impact in dentistry:
- VideaHealth: Analyzes radiographs to spot cavities and bone loss.
- Pearl’s Second Opinion: Highlights potential issues on dental X-rays.
- Denti.AI: Calibrates dentists’ diagnostic skills through feedback.
- Overjet for Educators: Trains dental students with AI technology.
- Dentrix Ascend: Automates administrative tasks in dental practices.
- Oral-B Genius X: Provides real-time feedback on brushing habits.
Precision and Efficiency in Dental AI
These diagnostic tools analyze radiographs, pinpointing caries, bone loss, calculus, and faulty restorations. AI can detect dental caries with over 90% accuracy, leading to earlier and more effective treatments. AI’s ability to highlight even the smallest radiolucencies helps bring attention to conditions that may be overlooked at a single glance.
AI can spot the earliest signs of caries between teeth on bitewing X-rays. This allows dentists to intervene earlier with preventative care treatments like application of fluoride varnish, Curodont, prescribing Prevident 5000 toothpaste, performing dietary counseling, and recommending MI paste. Early detection means timely preventive care and fewer extensive treatments later. For the dentist, AI means faster and more accurate diagnoses, with fewer missed conditions. For the patient, this means access to earlier intervention techniques.
