Akeyla Brown, DDS, is an oral surgeon and clinical director for diversity, equity and inclusion, and community engagement for Hackensack, N.J.-based Max Surgical Specialty Management. She recently connected with Becker’s on the important current trends in the industry.
Question: What trends in oral surgery or dentistry are you following and keeping tabs on?
Dr. Akeyla Brown: Artificial intelligence in dentistry is really cool and I love to see those changes. That is something I am definitely keeping my eyes on. What I’m really excited to see in terms of artificial intelligence is that we’ve started to get better at placing and making guides for implants. We don’t really have systems for that yet, so seeing that change is going to be really exciting. I love how artificial intelligence has helped streamline patient care. Making things faster for patients and making patients happy is always a plus, so that’s something I’m following and something I am really interested in.
