Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning, is rapidly transforming oral medicine. These technologies offer immense potential for improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in clinical image analysis and documentation. However, significant challenges remain. This Special Issue of Oral seeks to explore both the advancements and challenges of AI in oral medicine. We invite submissions that address topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Developing robust and generalizable AI models for diverse dental clinical settings;
  • Overcoming legal, ethical, and financial hurdles to AI implementation;
  • Integrating AI into existing dental workflows and practices;
  • Evaluating the impact of AI on patient outcomes and experiences;
  • Addressing bias and fairness in AI algorithms for oral healthcare;
  • Exploring the future of AI in oral medicine education.

We encourage submissions from researchers, clinicians, educators, and other stakeholders engaged in the development and application of AI in oral medicine. By fostering a deeper understanding of the potential as well as the limitations of this transformative technology, we aim to accelerate its responsible adoption and contribute to improved oral healthcare for all.

Dr. Xiaoyuan Han
