Core Tip

Core Tip: Magnification tools have revolutionized dentistry, but their integration with artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next paradigm shift. This letter highlights the potential of AI-enhanced magnification for diagnostics, workflow optimization, and personalized treatment planning. AI algorithms can analyze magnified images for early diagnosis, streamline procedures with real-time feedback, and provide tailored treatment insights based on patient-specific data. These innovations promise to elevate precision, efficiency, and outcomes in dental care, encouraging interdisciplinary advancements to fully realize this synergy.
