Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming patient education and communication in dentistry by offering innovative solutions to enhance engagement, understanding, and satisfaction. Effective patient education is crucial for informed decision-making, treatment compliance, and positive clinical outcomes. Traditional methods face challenges such as language barriers, anxiety, and information retention issues. AI addresses these by providing personalized educational materials, virtual consultations, language translation tools, and virtual reality simulations, improving patient understanding and experience. AI technologies, including machine learning and natural language processing, enable personalized content delivery, virtual assistants, and teledentistry platforms. These tools help patients understand complex dental procedures, manage dental anxiety, and improve oral health literacy. AI-driven virtual assistants and chatbots provide accurate and timely information, offer personalized guidance, and support patients through their dental care journey. AI also enhances diagnostic accuracy through image analysis software and supports remote monitoring and treatment planning. AI-enabled teledentistry improves access to dental care, especially in underserved areas, and allows for remote consultations and monitoring. Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies offer immersive experiences that help patients visualize dental procedures and reduce anxiety. Gamification strategies further engage patients by making learning interactive and enjoyable, leading to better oral health outcomes. Despite its potential, AI in dentistry raises ethical concerns, including data privacy, algorithmic fairness, and informed consent. Challenges such as cost, implementation, and patient acceptance must be addressed to ensure responsible and equitable use. Future implications suggest AI can track patient progress, analyze feedback, streamline administrative processes, and provide ongoing support, enhancing oral health outcomes. However, ethical, regulatory, and equity considerations must be addressed to ensure responsible AI deployment and widespread adoption. Overall, AI holds promise for revolutionizing dental patient education, communication, and care delivery, emphasizing the need for comprehensive strategies to address emerging challenges and maximize benefits.Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming patient education and communication in dentistry by offering innovative solutions to enhance engagement, understanding, and satisfaction.
