In an effort to understand the latest technology in dentistry, the Faculty of Dentistry at Universitas Gadjah Mada (FKG UGM) visited Dentistry Thammasat University on 19 January 2024. The visit focused on discussing artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of endodontics.
Representatives from FKG UGM, including Dr. drg. Yulita Kristanti, M.Kes., Sp.KG (K), Dr. drg. Tunjung Nugraheni, M.Kes., Sp.KG (K), and drg. Rahmadani Puspitasari, MDSc, met with Prof. Dr. Siriwan Suebnukarn, an endodontics expert specializing in health informatics, clinical simulation, and clinical decision making.
Prof. Siriwan Suebnukarn stated, “AI should be a decision-support tool, not a replacement for care. Collaboration between disciplines is crucial for achieving effective outcomes.” She also emphasized the importance of accurate data processing and the use of technology aligned with clinical needs.
This discussion aligns with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnerships to Achieve the Goal), highlighting the importance of education and international collaboration in advancing health technology.
