🦷 Inside the Sep/Oct 2025 Issue of Dental Asia

Innovation is transforming the dental landscape — from chairside consultations to implant quality and patient-led prevention. In this issue, we explore three major shifts reshaping clinical practice and oral healthcare delivery.

📌 AI in Everyday Dentistry (pp. 16, 19)
AI-powered tools are changing how dentists communicate and diagnose. Automated consultations and generative videos are improving diagnostic accuracy, streamlining consent, and closing the gap between clinical knowledge and patient understanding.

📌 Smart Practice Management (p. 22)
Generative AI isn’t just for diagnostics — it’s helping clinics run more efficiently. From documentation to appointment systems, these tools are giving dental professionals more time for what matters most: caring for patients.

📌 Raising the Bar in Implantology (p. 29)
The CleanImplant Foundation’s rigorous cleanliness testing is driving a new benchmark in implant quality. Manufacturers are stepping up — and patients are benefiting from better long-term outcomes.

📌 The Rise of Preventive Tech (p. 26)
Mobile apps, kiosks, and professional portals are empowering patients to take control of their oral health — while enabling seamless collaboration between practices and specialists.

➡️ These trends reflect a deeper shift toward digital, connected, and patient-centred care.

📖 Explore all this and more in the latest issue of Dental Asia (Sep/Oct 2025).
