Abstract

The profound impact of unmet oral health needs on systemic health remains a significant concern, particularly among vulnerable populations. Disparities such as low health literacy and limited access to care contribute to higher rates of oral diseases and poorer health outcomes. These disparities can exacerbate chronic systemic conditions like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, the absence of standardized practices among dental clinicians regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and management of periodontitis leads to inconsistencies in care utilization. Therefore, prioritizing approaches to care that enhance patient engagement, improve health literacy, and promote standardized care is imperative. Dentistry has historically emphasized delivering comprehensive care by embracing emerging technology and scientific evidence. The integration of AI holds promises in empowering patients through standardized care processes and enhanced access to health information.
