AI used to predict cavities
The Brief
- An international team of researchers is using artificial intelligence to predict which people are at high risk of cavities.
- The findings were published in the journal Caries Research.
- The model could help identify population clusters most at risk of tooth decay based on larger social determinants.
Why it matters
It suggests that cavity risk can be mapped across populations using social determinants, which could help public health services target preventive dental care.
