How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Dentistry

2. Improved Gum Disease Monitoring AI is also helping dentists identify and monitor gum disease more accurately. By analyzing dental X-rays, AI software can measure bone levels around teeth and detect signs of bone loss associated with periodontal disease. Comparing scans over time allows the technology to determine whether gum disease is stable, improving, or worsening. This gives dentists more detailed information for evaluating periodontal health and planning targeted treatment.
