Although artificial intelligence (AI) was once regarded as the stuff of science fiction, today, it is already a part of many of the technologies that people use to improve their lives on a day-to-day basis. In dentistry, the incorporation of AI into technologies isn't a new phenomenon, but as the systems and devices that leverage it continue to proliferate, adoption is expanding. For this month's cover story, Inside Dentistry spoke with some early adopters of AI-powered technologies from across the industry to learn about the different benefits that they've realized, the challenges that they've faced, and what may lie ahead.
Among other great articles in this month's issue, we have an excellent CE on external cervical resorption. We see cases involving resorption quite a bit in our practice. Such lesions were more difficult to detect with traditional radiography, but with the increased use of cone-beam computed tomography, they are able to be diagnosed more readily, making it important for dentists to be able to differentiate between the types for appropriate treatment.
Later this month, I'll be lecturing at the Chicago Dental Society's 2024 Midwinter Meeting. Come and say hi and let me know what you think of the magazine!
