The healthcare sector in India is also becoming digital rapidly. Surgeries are being performed on patients with the help of robots and AI. Now the oral health sector is also going digital. Its effect is now clearly visible in dental treatment also. Doctors are now identifying the disease easier than before. Recently, at a national conference held in Delhi, experts on digital dentistry and oral health explained how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is improving diagnosis and treatment. Now with the help of technologies like digital scanning, 3D imaging and CAD-CAM, the condition of teeth can be understood very accurately.
Where earlier small problems were ignored, now AI software catches the early signs and detects the disease in time. especially oral cancer Identification of such serious diseases has now become easier than before. With this, treatment of patients can be started on time. Additionally, customized implants and crowns are increasingly being manufactured through 3D printing. Experts believe that this combination of digital technology and dental science will give a new direction to oral health in the future.
Identification of diseases became easier with AI
Dean Professor and Head of the Department (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery), ESIC Dental College and Hospital, Dr. Nagaraj M. It is said that Artificial Intelligence is bringing rapid changes in the field of oral health. AI based software can identify even the smallest problems by analyzing X-rays and digital scans of teeth. With this, cavities, infections and gum disease can be caught in the early stages. Where earlier these problems were detected late, now with the help of AI, quick and accurate detection has become possible. This technology also recognizes such patterns which can be missed by the normal eye. Due to this, oral cancer is being identified early.
This helps doctors to take right decisions and treatment can be done in a better way. Additionally, the need for frequent testing is reduced and time is also saved. Overall, AI is making the investigation process faster, reliable and more effective.
Indian Dental Association’s Digital Dentistry
Patients are getting benefits from digital dentistry
Director Professor and Head of Department, Dental Oral Surgery, LHMC, Dr. Pravesh Mehra Said that digital dentistry has made the treatment of patients easy and comfortable. Now digital scanning has reduced the need for old molding.
Customized implants and crowns are increasingly being manufactured through 3D printing. Through tele-dentistry, people from remote areas can also take advice from experts. Due to this, the patient does not need to come to the hospital in every problem. This technology is advancing rapidly and will play a big role in improving the level of oral health in the future.
ease of cancer detection
Dr Mehra It is said that oral cancer is a serious disease, but if detected on time, treatment is possible. AI is helping a lot in this direction. By analyzing mouth scans and images, AI software can identify changes that indicate the beginning of cancer.
Earlier it was difficult to identify, but now due to technology it has become easy. If the disease is caught in the early stages, treatment can be started early. This reduces the risk of the patient’s condition worsening and increases the chances of recovery. This is the reason why AI is considered to play an important role in cancer detection.
