Digital technology is rapidly changing dentistry, but its potential goes far beyond the dental chair. Teledentistry, artificial intelligence, mobile health applications, digital imaging, electronic health records, and 3D technologies are creating new opportunities to prevent oral diseases, improve early detection, expand access to care, and connect patients with dental services.
This webinar will explore digital dentistry from a public health perspective, focusing on how technology can be used not only to improve individual patient care but also to address oral health needs at the population level. We will discuss practical applications in community screening, school oral health programmes, remote and rural care, health education, disease surveillance, risk-based prevention, and integration of oral health into broader healthcare systems.
The webinar will also examine important challenges, including the digital divide, data privacy, cybersecurity, algorithmic bias, interoperability, cost, and the need for appropriate training and regulation. Ultimately, the goal is not to replace dental professionals with technology, but to use technology intelligently to support them.
By bringing together clinical dentistry and public health, this webinar will highlight how digital innovation can contribute to more accessible, preventive, equitable, and patient-centred oral healthcare.
This webinar will explore how digital technology is transforming oral healthcare, moving beyond the traditional dental clinic toward a more connected, preventive, and population-focused approach. It will highlight the growing role of artificial intelligence, teledentistry, mobile oral health tools, digital imaging, electronic health records, and 3D technologies in improving prevention, early detection, access to care, patient engagement, and oral health surveillance. The discussion will also address how digital solutions can support underserved and remote communities while examining challenges such as the digital divide, data privacy, cybersecurity, algorithmic bias, interoperability, cost, and regulation. The webinar will conclude by looking at how responsible use of technology can contribute to more equitable, accessible, and patient-centred oral healthcare.
