Abstract

Dental artificial intelligence (AI) software can analyze and annotate radiographs in near real-time, transforming traditional gray-scale images into a color-coded diagnostic adjunct designed to draw the eye to potential pathologies. In this article, clinical leaders of various dental groups and practices discuss their experiences with implementing AI for radiograph analysis and to gain clinical insights. They describe how the use of AI for radiograph analysis aids dental providers in generating an accurate diagnosis, communicating more effectively with patients, and facilitating clinical consistency throughout a practice.
