Abstract
The article "Introducing Artificial Intelligence Into Your Practice: How to Begin the Journey in 2025" by Paul Supan, DDS, MA, MPH, and Munira Muluke, DMD, MS, explores the integration of AI into dental practices. It highlights the rapid evolution of technology in dentistry and emphasizes the accessibility of AI through free or low-cost commercial off-the-shelf tools. These tools can assist with creating personalized patient communications, educational materials, and visual aids. The article provides examples of general-purpose AI platforms for text and image generation, such as ChatGPT and DALL·E, and discusses the benefits of starting small before transitioning to advanced dental-specific solutions. It also addresses barriers like cost and learning curves, encouraging dentists to take the first step into AI adoption with minimal investment and professional oversight.
