Abstract: This lecture offers a comprehensive overview of the transformative role artificial intelligence (AI) plays in dental medicine. It is designed to equip dental professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to assess and effectively integrate AI technologies into their practices. The presentation begins by exploring the fundamental concepts of AI and machine learning, followed by an examination of current and emerging AI applications in dental diagnostics, treatment planning, patient management, and outcomes prediction. Special attention is given to the ethical considerations and the importance of maintaining patient privacy and data security. The lecture also covers real-world case studies, demonstrating the practical benefits and challenges of AI in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, optimizing treatment outcomes, and improving patient satisfaction. Taken together, this lecture aims to demystify AI for dental clinicians, encouraging them to embrace these novel technologies to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.

 

本講座會講述人工智慧 (AI) 如何改變牙科工作，並為牙科專業人員提供如何評估AI技術並將其有效整合到其實踐中。

演講首先探討AI和deep learning的基本概念，然後會進一步講述當前在牙科診斷、治療計劃、患者管理和結果預測方面的應用。（特別關注維護病患隱私和資料安全的重要性）

講座還涵蓋了幾個case study，展示了AI在提高診斷準確性、優化治療結果和提高患者滿意度方面的實際優缺點。

總而言之，本次講座目的是為臨床醫生揭開AI的神秘面紗，鼓勵他們採用這些新技術來提高病患照護和營運效率。
