Dental Protection has announced that it is hosting a new webinar – AI in Clinical Dentistry: Progress and Pitfalls – which will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is set to transform general dental practice.
The webinar, taking place on 2 October 2025, will examine the new opportunities that AI has to offer, while also making dental professionals aware of the new clinical and ethical concerns that could arise from its use.
The webinar will also introduce the Safer Practice Framework designed by Dental Protection’s Raj Rattan – to help integrate AI safely and responsibly into practice.
Raj Rattan, Dental Director at Dental Protection and webinar host 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 all dental professionals to better understand the impact of AI in general dental 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 upcoming webinar and explaining how the tools within it can be applied for safe, defensible use of AI in clinical settings.”
The webinar is free to attend, and both members and non-members of Dental Protection can register at: Webinar Registration - Zoom
