Ethical Considerations of AI in Implant Dentistry: A Clinical Perspective

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various fields, including healthcare. In implant dentistry, AI offers the potential to revolutionize diagnostics, treatment planning, and surgical procedures. However, the integration of AI in this field also raises ethical considerations that need careful examination. This paper explores the ethical implications of AI in implant dentistry from a clinical perspective. It discusses the potential benefits and risks of AI-driven implant care, including issues related to patient autonomy, data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the role of human clinicians. The paper also proposes ethical guidelines and recommendations for the responsible development and implementation of AI in implant dentistry, emphasizing the importance of transparency, accountability, and patient-centered care.
