Presentation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming clinical practice, biomedical research and healthcare decision-making processes. In periodontology and dentistry, new AI-based tools offer potential applications in diagnosis, treatment planning, prediction of clinical outcomes, and the analysis of scientific data.

This course aims to provide an up-to-date, critical and practical overview of the current and future applications of artificial intelligence in clinical dentistry and dental research, combining lectures, discussions and practical workshops led by national and international experts.

The activity is organised in collaboration with Dentaid, SEPA and Universitat Internacional de Catalunya.
