Dental AI is software that assists dentists by analyzing X-rays and other clinical images.
It highlights areas that may need attention so dentists can review them more closely.
AI acts like a second set of eyes—it does not replace the dentist, diagnose disease, or determine treatment.
These tools are trained using large sets of anonymised data and are designed to support consistency in image interpretation. The aim is to enhance and add to—not replace—the clinical judgment and experience of dental professionals.
