ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DENTISTRY
SPEAKER: DR. MEL MUPPARAPU
The presentation will explore the distinctions between Human Intelligence (HuI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will delve into the use of AI algorithms for managing dental practices, diagnostic applications, and various specialties within dentistry, as well as for dental laboratories. We will also review the American Dental Association’s white paper on AI and discuss future developments such as Augmented Intelligence (AuI), robotics, and automation.
Goals and Objectives:
- To discuss the role of AI as a tool for dental practice management
- To present the role of large language models like Chat GPT, Google Gemini and IBM’s Watson in dental education and practice
- To present the various forms of AI like the machine learning, deep learning and active learning as it applies to dentistry
- To present AI and its applications in the fields of Oral Medicine, Diagnostic Radiology, Endodontics, Pathology, Periodontology, Implantology, Orthodontics and general restorative dentistry as well as Prosthodontics
- To discuss and understand the role of Augmented Intelligence (AuI), Robotics and Automation as it relates to Dentistry.

MASTERING MEDICAL EMERGENCIES: FROM PANIC TO PROTOCOL
SPEAKER: DR. MANSOOR MADANI
While the State Board of Dentistry has yet to mandate continuing education and training for medical emergencies, we firmly believe this subject warrants revisiting before license renewal. If you’ve ever encountered an emergency in your practice, you know how stressful and daunting those moments can be. However, with thorough training, proper preparation, and established protocols, any emergency can be managed confidently and efficiently, ensuring your patients’ safety.
We recommend that not only practitioners but their entire team participate in this course. Investing just a few hours with us can significantly enhance your ability to save lives, reduce stress, and be well-prepared. Our course will provide practical, detailed insights to equip you and your team for the challenging scenarios you may face in a daily dental practice.
Goals and Objectives:
- Analyze and utilize a medical history questionnaire effectively
- List and demonstrate proper use of the items in a medical emergency kit
- Recognize “red flags” in the medical history that require further investigation
- Review recent lab tests, recent medication changes and other relevant medical information
- Design a medical emergency management plan for your dental office and be able to calmly execute it
- Recognize the signs and symptoms of common medical emergencies and demonstrate the correct action for each type
- Understand the possible outcomes for patients who exhibit pulmonary, cerebrovascular, cardiovascular diseases, insulin reaction, diabetic coma, syncope, seizures and allergic reactions.
