Dr. Jean-Marc Retrouvey, University of Missouri - Kansas City
A recent article published by Scientific Scholar on behalf of APOS Trends in Orthodontics examines the use of Artificial Intelligence in orthodontics and explores the potential for its future development and application.
In this episode of CDA Oasis Live, Dr. John O’Keefe, Director of Knowledge Networks CDA, welcomes corresponding author of the article, Dr. Jean-Marc Retrouvey of the University of Missouri - Kansas City, to discuss his findings and shed light on the impact AI may have on orthodontics in the future.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the conversation:
- Artificial Intelligence has the potential to improve diagnostic abilities by processing large amounts of data and using it to improve predictability, thereby allowing clinicians to better envisage outcomes prior to starting treatment.
- It is important that we are careful with data. There is potential for abuse. Poor data will only lead to poor outcomes.
- Data alone is not enough. AI will not replace the orthodontist because every procedure is unique. The orthodontist will simply rely on the data to acquire knowledge about how the patient will respond to treatment.
