APPLICATIONS OF AI FOR DIAGNOSIS

There are several software that apply AI in the field of Dentistry. These softwares are designed to improve various aspects of dental practice, from diagnosis to treatment planning. Some of the most notable software, according to Mora, are:

• DENTRIX ASCEND – This dental practice management software uses AI to optimize appointment scheduling, patient record management, and data analysis to improve service quality.
• PEARL: Offers a variety of AI-powered tools, including “Second Opinion,” which uses machine learning algorithms to analyze dental x-rays and detect pathology.
• OVERJET: Specializing in AI dental analysis, Overjet focuses on the interpretation of radiographic images to aid in the diagnosis of cavities, periodontal diseases and other conditions.
• VIDEAHEALTH – This software uses AI to analyze dental images, helping dentists detect diseases more accurately and quickly.
• DENTAL MONITORING: Offers AI-powered teledentistry solutions, allowing dentists to monitor their patients' treatment progress remotely.
• PLANMECA ROMEXIS: This dental imaging software integrates AI to improve diagnosis and treatment planning in various areas of Dentistry, including Implantology and Orthodontics.
  

These software are constantly evolving, incorporating advances in AI to improve efficiency, precision and results in dental practice. Its adoption is helping dentists make more informed decisions and provide better care to their patients.


THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING

In Spain, the field of AI applied to Dentistry is developing, but there are already training opportunities and resources available for professionals interested in this area.
“Although it can still be considered an emerging branch compared to other more established fields of AI, there is growing interest and recognition of its potential,” confirms the CEO of Mindbreak.
For this reason, some universities and technical schools in Spain are beginning to offer specific courses and modules in AI applied to Dentistry as part of their health sciences or technology study programs.
In addition, “online education platforms such as Coursera, edX and Udemy offer AI courses that, although not always specifically oriented to Dentistry, can provide a solid foundation in AI and its applications,” advises Mora, who highlights that “in In Spain, events, conferences and workshops on Dentistry are regularly organized where advanced technology topics, including AI, are addressed. These events are opportunities to learn and network.”
