Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming dental education and clinical practice. This session explores two innovative applications of AI: (1) imaging and language tools for diagnostics and (2) documentation and prompt engineering to enhance clinical reasoning. Presenters will discuss how convolutional neural networks and computer vision tools support decision-making and automated documentation. Secondly, the presentation describes prompt engineering as a tool for guiding large language models to simulate clinical scenarios, improve diagnostic reasoning and deliver personalized feedback. Through interactive activities, participants will gain practical strategies for integrating AI into dental curricula and promoting deeper learning and equitable educational experiences for students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify practical applications of AI tools for radiographic interpretation and clinical decision support.
  • Explain how language-based AI models can enhance clinical reasoning and documentation through prompt engineering.
  • Assess the opportunities and challenges of incorporating AI into dental education and practice to support equitable learning outcomes.
