As part of its specialty symposia series, Dental Tribune International will host an online symposium on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital dentistry on 10 April. The event, held on the DT Study Club platform, will provide an overview of current and emerging applications of AI in dentistry. Through expert-led sessions, the programme will present clinically relevant perspectives and practical approaches to integrating AI-driven tools into everyday practice across multiple specialties and digital workflows.

Among the highlights will be a session by practice development consultant Dr Jesper Hatt, focusing on the role of AI in aligner therapy. The lecture will examine how automated systems can support treatment planning while emphasising the importance of clinical oversight, structured workflows and sound biomechanical principles. Dr Henrik-Christian Carl Hollay, an experienced implantologist from Germany, will address AI-assisted decision-making in implant and restorative dentistry, demonstrating how integrated digital tools can enhance planning accuracy, optimise workflows and support predictable outcomes.

Further sessions will explore the broader impact of AI on restorative and surgical disciplines. Prosthodontist and educator Prof. Ali Murat Kökat will discuss the transformation of dental prosthetics through digitalisation, cloud-based collaboration and AI-driven design, including developments in web-based CAD solutions. Dr Henriette Lerner, past president of the Digital Dentistry Society, will present digital approaches to improving accuracy and predictability in full-arch implant protocols, focusing on advanced scan body concepts for reliable data acquisition. In addition, cosmetic dentist Dr Jan Einfeldt will examine how digital workflows can support practice efficiency, patient communication and treatment acceptance in orthodontic care.

Previous editions of the specialty symposia series have attracted strong international participation. The Digital Dentistry Symposium 2025, which marked the launch of the series in June last year, drew more than 4,500 participants worldwide. The Implants Symposium 2025 brought together over 4,600 attendees to explore advances in oral implantology, including digital workflows, implant stability and regenerative techniques.

The digital & AI dentistry Symposium on 10 April will be the first edition in 2026. Further symposia later this year will focus on CAD/CAM and 3D-printing technology, as well as implant dentistry, aligner treatment and endodontics.

Participation is free of charge; however, prior registration is required. Participants can earn one continuing education credit per session attended. More information can be found here.
