SP-24 Leveraging AI-Powered Clinical Decision Support Tools in Endodontic Education
CE Hours: 0.75
Description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been widely discussed as one of the most significant disruptors of current times. While the use of generative AI, such as Chat GPT, has been a hot topic in education, other applications of AI have substantially impacted the dental industry as well. Clinical decision support tools, such as Overjet, analyze digital images to identify periapical radiolucencies, caries, and bone levels. This session will present a dental school’s experience using an AI-powered clinical decision support tool in a comprehensive clinical care model to improve the identification of endodontic lesions, optimize patient flow, and impact educational outcomes. Attendees will gain insights into the practical application of these tools, potential challenges, and benefits, ultimately aiming to elevate the quality of endodontic education and patient care.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its relevance to endodontic practice.
- Identify the functionalities and capabilities of Overjet as a clinical decision support tool in endodontics.
- Apply strategies for leveraging AI technologies in endodontic curricula to enhance student learning and clinical outcomes.
