AI used to predict cavities

AI Summary

Researchers are using artificial intelligence to identify people and population groups at elevated risk of cavities. The approach uses broader social determinants of health rather than relying only on individual clinical diagnostics.

An international team of researchers is leveraging artificial intelligence to predict who is at high risk for cavities. The findings, published in the journal Caries Research, could help identify population clusters most at risk for tooth decay based on larger social determinants of health rather than on clinical diagnostics at the individual level.
