Abstract

This article discusses innovations in technology and treatments that have enormous potential to revolutionize our dental care, including novel concepts in electronic health records, communication between dentists and patients, biologics around diagnosis and treatment, digital dentistry, and, finally, the real-time optimization of information technology. The early implementation and validation of these innovations can drive down their costs and provide better dental and medical services to all members of our society.

Keywords: auto-therapy; digital dentistry; learning health systems; oral microbiome; teledentistry; wearable.

Clinical augmented reality and artificial intelligence (CLARAi) framework that integrated clinical real-time neuroimaging, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence provides an augmented clinical environment by displaying neuroimaging data with predicted and localized pain from patient. The classification codes for no pain, right side pain, and left side pain were defined as 0, 1, and 2, respectively, for model training purposes (Hu et al. 2019).
