Abstract
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are redefining how clinicians detect, diagnose, and manage dental caries. This course explores the evolving role of AI in caries detection and prevention, highlighting how technology enhances clinical accuracy, standardizes care, and improves patient outcomes.
Participants will learn how to integrate AI-driven insights into everyday practice to identify early lesions, engage patients through visual communication, and implement minimally invasive, preventive treatment strategies.
