Why it matters for dental
AI tools now handle charting, radiographs, and surgical planning in dental offices, but the dentist retains final clinical responsibility; practice owners and specialists must decide whether the efficiency gains justify the software cost and compliance burden.

- The source states that AI functions only as a clinical aid and does not replace the clinician’s judgment.
