Periodontitis is a common inflammatory disease of the adult population, with an incidence positively correlated with age. A lack of standardization relating to periodontitis diagnosis and management, however, can often result in instances of undiagnosed and untreated oral disease. Progressive approaches to care, such as incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) technology into dental practice software, can assist dental providers in standardizing the diagnosis of periodontitis and contribute to increased treatment acceptance by improving patients' health literacy and understanding of their periodontal condition. The use of AI technology can enhance clinical efficiency, improve provider standardization, facilitate clinical decision-making, and promote intra- and interprofessional collaboration. AI-powered radiograph analysis provides objective data to assist dentists in their clinical decision-making and diagnostic consistency.
牙周炎是一种常见的成人炎症性疾病，其发病率与年龄呈正相关。然而，由于牙周炎的诊断和管理缺乏标准化，常常导致口腔疾病未被诊断和治疗。采用渐进式的护理方法，例如在牙科实践软件中融入人工智能 (AI) 技术，可以帮助牙科医生标准化牙周炎的诊断，并通过提高患者的健康素养和对牙周状况的理解，提高治疗的接受度。AI 技术的使用可以提高临床效率，促进提供者的标准化，便于临床决策，并促进专业内和专业间的协作。基于人工智能的 X 光片分析提供了客观的数据，有助于牙医做出临床决策并保持诊断的一致性。
