Could AI help dental professionals improve the quality of their clinical records and identify potential problems before they become a risk?
High-quality clinical records are an important part of safe and effective dental practice. However, identifying missing information, inconsistencies or charting errors can be difficult within the pressures of everyday clinical work.
MPS Foundation-funded research led by Dr Yunpeng Li, Reader in AI & Digital Oral Health at King's College London, is exploring whether trustworthy, clinician-centred AI could help.
The project is developing an AI-enabled approach to dental record self-auditing designed to identify potential gaps, inconsistencies and charting errors. Importantly, the technology is being developed alongside dental professionals, helping the research team understand real-world record-keeping challenges and co-design and refine the system around the needs of those who may ultimately use it.
In this webinar, Dr Li will share how the research is developing, its emerging findings and how its outputs could ultimately support dental professionals in the UK and internationally.
The session will also explore opportunities for dental professionals to engage with the research as it develops and will conclude with a live Q&A examining the practical opportunities and challenges of using AI to support better dental record-keeping.
