Title: From probing to programming: The AI revolution in periodontology

Abstract:

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining the approach to periodontal care, replacing traditional manual techniques with intelligent, data-driven systems. Tools based on machine learning and advanced image processing are enhancing diagnostic accuracy, improving risk prediction, and supporting clinical decisions with greater consistency. From interpreting radiographs to streamlining periodontal assessments, AI is contributing to faster workflows and tailored treatment strategies. This presentation highlights key innovations, real-world applications, and the transformative potential of AI in periodontology. As digital technologies continue to evolve, embracing AI will be essential for delivering precise, predictive, and patient-centered periodontal care in the years ahead.
