Dental Protection will host a webinar titled AI in Clinical Dentistry: Progress and Pitfalls on 2 Oct 2025. The session will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) could transform general dental practice, highlighting both opportunities and potential challenges.
The webinar will also introduce the Safer Practice Framework, developed by Raj Rattan, dental director at Dental Protection, to support the safe and responsible integration of AI into clinical settings.
Rattan, who will host the event, said: “The transformative potential of AI in all walks of life cannot be overstated, and dentistry is no exception. All dental professionals need to be supported in embracing AI – from diagnostics, record keeping and predictive analytics, to patient and practice management systems – while understanding and mitigating the dentolegal and ethical risks associated with its use.
“Our upcoming webinar, open to both Dental Protection members and non-members, will help dental professionals to better understand the impact of AI in general practice and recognise both the benefits and risks – including the ethical and legal aspects.
“I will also introduce the Safer Practice Framework, designed to make the use of AI in dentistry safer. This framework will encourage clinicians to ask the right questions at the right time and stay in control of decisions. I look forward to sharing the framework in the webinar and explaining how the tools within it can be applied for safe, defensible use of AI in clinical settings.”
