“AI will not replace humans, but humans who know how to use it will replace those who don’t.”
Kai-Fu Lee, artificial intelligence specialist
and former President of Google China
Change: “to arrange or present oneself in a different way.”
Never has this definition been more relevant to Dental Medicine. As in many other areas of healthcare, we are experiencing an unprecedented transformation: the integration of digital tools and Artificial Intelligence is creating a new reality in clinical practice.
In a world where information is renewed at the speed of light, it becomes the mission of this congress to present the most relevant innovations, with the specialists who are shaping the future.
CESPU, through its Postgraduate Program in Digital Dental Medicine, has the honour of organising the 2nd Congress on Artificial Intelligence in Dental Medicine – Intelligent Dentistry 2026.
Bringing together national and international speakers, this meeting will be a stage for innovation and knowledge sharing, demonstrating how the symbiosis between Artificial Intelligence and Dental Medicine is redefining the standards of our profession.
