Dental artificial intelligence company VideaHealth has established a council of dental executives to help shape the future of AI use in dentistry.
The goal of the AI Leadership Council is to help ensure the responsible adoption of AI technology to support quality, long-term use in dentistry, according to a Jan. 7 news release. This work will include defining best practices and standards for the integration of AI in diagnostics, workflows and patient communications.

1. Jessica Buehler, DDS, president and chief clinical officer of Great Expressions Dental Centers.
