ProSocial Artificial Intelligence in Oral and Maxillofacial Imaging, Pathology, and Laboratory Applications

Artificial intelligence (AI) revolutionizes dentistry, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and collaboration. This article examines AI's role in oral and maxillofacial imaging, pathology, and laboratory workflows through the lens of ProSocial AI-a framework prioritizing equity, ethics, shared decision-making of end-user and practitioner, and patient-centered care. We look at how AI streamlines imaging analysis, aids early cancer detection, and optimizes implant planning by integrating cone-beam computed tomography scans and intraoral camera data. As mentioned, it facilitates collaboration between clinics and laboratories, reducing costs and improving access to advanced care.
