SUMMARY:Open wide: Covering the growing field of AI and dentistry
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence has been making its way into dentistry. New AI software products have emerged that could enhance dentists’ ability to detect tooth decay\, cavities or bone loss and propose treatments before dental health worsens. The FDA already has approved eight such AI products\, with more to come\, and some large corporate dental chains have already begun using them.In this webinar\, we’ll go over how these products work\, their benefits and limitations\, what’s on the horizon\, and how to cover this growing field. Roya Zandparsa\, a dentist who lectures at Tufts and Harvard universities\, and Casey Ross\, national technology correspondent for STAT\, will discuss how the products work and are being incorporated into dental care\, what we might expect in the future\, and how to report on this trend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Blum is AHCJ’s health beat leader for health IT.
