Study highlights potential and risks of AI tools in dental record-keeping

LONDON, England: One of the key promises of artificial intelligence-based (AI-based) tools in dentistry is the expediting of time-consuming tasks. The authoring of electronic health records is one area where AI could enable significant time-savings; however, clinicians must be able to rely on consistent and error-free documentation. According to a team of researchers who tested the accuracy of various AI-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, current systems still require clinical oversight.
