In the case described, human clinical judgment ultimately altered the patient’s outcome. With AI integrated earlier into the diagnostic pathway, that judgment could have been supported much sooner.
The issue is not that AI tools don’t work. The issue is that plan generation and clinical decision-making are not the same problem.
Agentic artificial intelligence — systems capable of autonomous reasoning, planning, and multi-step task execution with defined human oversight — is transitioning from research concept to enterprise deployment.
This paper argues that responsible AI-assisted dentistry requires recognition of a critical ethical boundary — the moment at which automated diagnostic expression should be intentionally withheld.
Here is the legal reality clinicians need to absorb early: When AI enters the chart, responsibility does not shift. It concentrates.
Augmented intelligence is a powerful addition to modern dentistry — one that, used ethically and wisely, will amplify human intelligence, empowering both practitioner and patient.
This review summarizes current evidence and future implications on AI-assisted drug monitoring and dosing, AI-based behavioural support and decision-support tools highlighting the impact in dentistry.
Dr. Thomas Nguyen shares some dental AI trends to look out for in 2026, including the integration of AI into dental workflows and the rise of AI-powered virtual reality in dental education.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming dentistry through applications in radiographic interpretation, caries detection, orthodontic planning, and digital smile design. Yet, these advances raise profound ethical questions regarding patient privacy, algorithmic bias, accountability, and transparency.
The article discusses how artificial intelligence is increasingly being integrated into healthcare, transforming everything from diagnostics and clinical decision-making to administrative workflows and treatment planning.
In the rapidly advancing landscape of medical technology, few innovations capture the clinical and public imagination as profoundly as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs).
The next wave of digital health will not thrive inside institution-tethered portals. These tools need comprehensive, longitudinal data assembled under a single, durable identity and governed by transparent, revocable consent. A patient-controlled personal health record (PHR) provides exactly that substrate.
Due to the expanding scope of artificial intelligence in the dental and medical fields, we have decided to combine the various health related fields into a single functional publication: The Artificial Intelligence Journal of Medicine and Dentistry (AIMEDENT Journal).
As artificial intelligence reshapes dentistry—from education to clinical care—leaders are drawing a sharp line: machines can support, but never replace, thinking. That message is coming from both New York and Florida. In Buffalo, N.Y., dentist and attorney Dr. Chester J. Gary earned top editorial honours for his cautionary words on AI. In Gainesville, Fla., the … Read more
The dental industry is entering a transformative era, driven by cloud-based practice management (PM) systems and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies are reshaping how practices operate, enhancing efficiency, and elevating the patient experience. By 2026, forward-thinking practices that embrace integrated cloud and AI tools will enjoy measurable improvements in productivity, clinical accuracy, and long-term growth. … Read more
With 30 years in the industry, Anne Genge discusses the importance of cybersecurity in dental practices and the types of cyber threats that dental professionals need to be aware of. With 95% of breaches involving human error and stresses, she explains that the need for comprehensive training and policies is essential. Newcom Media Inc · … Read more
ChatGPT has transformed your admin workflows and treatment notes. Now, meet the robots entering your operatory.1 1. The rise of surgical robotics When the da Vinci Surgical System launched in July 2000, it proved to general surgeons that robotic-assisted surgery, offering high-definition 3D views and built-in tremor-filtration technology, could be effectively applied to a wide … Read more
Artificial intelligence has entered dentistry not with fanfare, but through a quiet transformation. In practices across North America, clinicians are discovering that AI scribes can record consultation notes while they focus on patients, enhancing compassionate care. Diagnostic algorithms can identify subtle pathologies in radiographs, and machine learning-powered administrative assistants can simplify insurance authorizations. What once … Read more
Abstract The rise of artificial intelligence has made it easier than ever for cybercriminals to exploit stolen data. One overlooked risk is the Google Takeout archive, a downloadable file that contains the full contents of a Google account, including emails, contacts, calendars, photos, and even location history. For healthcare providers who use Gmail, this can … Read more
Introduction to artificial intelligence in dentistry Today, the role of artificial intelligence has become stronger within the field of medicine and dentistry. It is getting difficult to keep up with this change. Many tasks performed by humans for many years are now done by machines with the help of artificial intelligence. The main goal of … Read more
