Lecture : From Pulp to Perfection: Aesthetic-Centric Endodontics in the Age of AI
(Day 2) 22nd November 2025 : 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM
This session explores the paradigm shift toward aesthetic-centric endodontics, where the preservation of natural tooth structure, color harmony, and long-term restorability are considered integral outcomes of treatment.
Synopsis:
In the evolving world of dental care, endodontic therapy is no longer confined to the elimination of disease,it is increasingly intertwined with restorative integrity and aesthetic expectations.Â
This session explores the paradigm shift toward aesthetic-centric endodontics, where the preservation of natural tooth structure, color harmony, and long-term restorability are considered integral outcomes of treatment.
With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), clinicians now have access to enhanced diagnostic tools, predictive modeling for tooth restorability, and decision-making algorithms that optimize both biological and cosmetic results.Â
This talk will delve into how AI technologies, ranging from intraoral scanners to deep learning-based radiographic analysis, can aid practitioners in making more confident, aesthetic-conscious treatment plans.
By bridging the science of endodontic healing with the art of dental aesthetics, this presentation aims to inspire a new generation of dental professionals to embrace AI-driven approaches that deliver not just successful root canal treatments, but also visually pleasing, functional smiles.
