Description

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly present in dentistry, from diagnostic support tools to workflow and communication solutions. This continuing education course provides dental professionals with a clear, practical understanding of how AI is currently used in dental practices, what FDA 510(k) clearance means for dental AI technologies, and the limitations and responsibilities that come with AI-supported tools.
This course is designed to educate rather than promote, so participants can confidently evaluate AI technologies within their own clinical and practice settings.  It is evidence-based and clinically relevant. It is suitable for introductory to intermediate learners.
Course Objectives: 
  • Describe artificial intelligence and its role within modern dental practice settings
  • Identify common ways AI is currently used to support hygienists, dentists, and dental teams across clinical and operational workflows
  • Recognize examples of leading dental AI platforms and the general functions they provide, without product endorsement
  • Describe FDA 510(k) clearance and how regulatory requirements may differ among dental AI products.
  • Discuss the limitations, risks, and ethical considerations associated with the use of AI in dentistry
