Diagnoсat is one such technological advancement, with highly accurate AI analysis of dental radiographs. The system is very user-friendly, quick to learn and understand as well as to setup a new patient, upload the radiographs and receive the full analysis.

'Artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace dentists; it will help make their clinical outcomes more predictable', says Professor Falk Schwendicke. 'Empowering your dental practice using AI and diagnostics' was the subject of the latest in the Digital Excellence Series by Align Education.

Imaging tools use AI to guide patients as they capture images of their teeth and can then detect signs of declining oral health to flag for the dental care team. AI-guided 3D simulations of patients' mouths help orthodontists accelerate the fittings and transition between braces, aligners, and retainers.

AI will minimize human error by providing comprehensive feedback regarding patients' medical history, allergic history, disease, and drug interactions, overall improving treatment outcomes and patient care. The dental workflow will become completely automated with AI enhancing efficiency and improved patient care.
