The dental artificial intelligence company partnered with Directions Research to conduct a study on oral health habits and the acceptance of AI in dentistry. The survey was done from Oct. 12 until Oct. 16 with 1,047 U.S. adults.
The study found that 94% of people agreed that untreated oral issues directly impact overall health and risk of disease. The top reasons for questioning or hesitating to commit to a suggested treatment included cost, fear or pain and because the problem does not seem too painful or problematic.
Nearly half of the survey participants indicated they are open to the use of dental AI if it could help catch issues early or if it could reduce the need for more invasive treatment, according to a Dec. 11 news release.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
