Description: The general concept of Artificial intelligence (AI) and its use in everyday life will be reviewed. For dentistry, this will be a revolutionary and evolutionary change. AI can be used in patient management, radiology assessment, treatment options, and monitoring of patient outcomes. AI will be able to standardize and optimize dental care. Patients may be evaluated at home and obtain dental care before conditions worsen. AI can also assist in educating the next generation of dentists. (1.5 credit hours)
