What began as a bold pitch has now evolved into a full-fledged special issue\u2014<em>Modern Endodontics: Focus on AI<\/em>\u2014edited by Drs. Chogle, Mark Desrosiers, and Asma Khan.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the AAE, the endodontic editorial trio reflected on the process of shaping this forward-looking issue, the urgency of AI integration in dentistry, and the unique opportunity for endodontics to lead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Inside the Issue:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Foundational Technologies and Tools<\/strong><br \/>\nThe opening chapters provide a broad overview of current technologies assisting endodontists and highlight diagnostic innovations related to periapical radiolucencies (PARLs), root fractures, and external cervical resorption (ECR).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advances in Imaging, Robotics, and Prognosis<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom 3D imaging and surgical guides to robotic integration and AI\u2019s role in predicting treatment outcomes, several articles examine how intelligent systems are enhancing precision and decision-making.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice Management and Ethics<\/strong><br \/>\nA deep dive into how AI is influencing the business and ethical dimensions of endodontic care, with attention to patient privacy, professional responsibility, and emerging best practices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Endodontic Education Reimagined<\/strong><br \/>\nTwo chapters explore how virtual reality, augmented reality, and AI-based simulation are transforming how endodontic skills are taught and learned\u2014both at the student and continuing education levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><br \/>\nThe final two chapters take a bold step into the future, considering what\u2019s next\u2014and what lies <em>beyond the horizon<\/em>\u2014for endodontics as AI tools continue to evolve and embed themselves into clinical practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>An Idea Whose Time Had Come<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve worked with DCNA in the past&#8230; back in 2012 when things were warming up with regenerative endodontics,\u201d Dr. Chogle explained. \u201cThat was my cue as well in terms of AI\u2014seeing the increase in publications, the interest in dental applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the idea was initially met with some skepticism, the editors quickly demonstrated the depth and breadth of AI&#8217;s relevance to the specialty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we convinced them that there was enough potential for us to create an issue solely based on artificial intelligence within [endodontics],\u201d said Dr. Chogle. \u201cOf course, once the idea was on the table, I had to bring in the real brains behind the whole issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why AI Matters to Endodontics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each editor emphasized that the special issue is about more than just trend-following\u2014it\u2019s about preparing the specialty for transformative change.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Desrosiers noted, \u201cAI is big for everything, not just endodontics&#8230; this is going to make our specialty look good \u2026 as a specialty, we\u2019re at the forefront.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Khan added, \u201cAs endodontists, as educators, we really need to educate ourselves&#8230; We need to play an active role in how these applications are developed, how they are used in our offices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AI\u2019s rapid growth means the specialty can&#8217;t afford to wait: \u201cIt\u2019s sort of insidious, creeping into a lot of dentistry and non-dental fields as well,\u201d said Dr. Chogle. \u201cHopefully this helps readers understand that it\u2019s already here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Addressing Misconceptions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One key goal of the issue is to clarify what AI is\u2014and what it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI is not a threat, or should not be a threat,\u201d said Dr. Khan. \u201cIt\u2019s really a good tool to help us serve our patients better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She advocated for reframing the conversation: \u201cWe should start thinking in terms of <em>augmented intelligence<\/em>&#8230; it augments or helps the endodontist. It is not meant to replace endodontists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Desrosiers cautioned against assuming AI is ready-made: \u201cIt is a tool that has to be used with caution&#8230; Certainly right now it\u2019s the bleeding edge, but it is changing so quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI in Education: Learning and Teaching in Real Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As educators, all three editors acknowledged the unique challenge of teaching a rapidly evolving subject.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re learning it and we\u2019re learning how to teach it at the same time,\u201d said Dr. Desrosiers. \u201cWhile this is challenging, the potential is very promising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Khan outlined how AI is already changing education at every level\u2014from didactic lectures to simulation labs to continuing education. \u201cThe teaching and learning experience is richer and more personalized,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Chogle offered a glimpse into the future: \u201cWe had a resident use AI and augmented reality to practice a procedure on a virtual patient\u2014the same patient they were going to see. They practiced the surgery virtually, and then did it.\u201d He called it \u201ca good teaching tool for residents to be able to practice before they get into the surgical field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration and Editorial Insights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While most authors featured in the publication are endodontists, a few chapters brought in contributors from other disciplines\u2014particularly for ethics and practice management. These chapters had a lasting impact on the editorial team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ethics chapter really opened my eyes,\u201d said Dr. Desrosiers. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot broader than I first thought.\u201d Dr. Desrosiers also said he was impressed by contributor Kim FitzSimmons\u2019 (AAE\u2019s Chief Marketing &amp; Communications Officer) chapter, \u201cEndodontic Practice Management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was really impressed with how far ahead of the curve she was compared to what I had perceived,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Khan added, \u201cIt was fun to collaborate with different disciplines. It was an enriching experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Favorites\u2014But Lots to Be Excited About<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked if they had a favorite chapter, the editors were unanimous: every piece adds value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if you tried [to pick], there was a good amount of overlap,\u201d said Dr. Chogle. \u201cIt\u2019s like a complete monograph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The contributors also represented a range of career stages\u2014from residents to veteran educators\u2014which added depth and variety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI\u2019s Potential and the Role of the AAE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The editors offered a glimpse of what excites them most about AI\u2019s potential. Dr. Khan sees AI as a bridge between biology and technology: \u201cIt could evaluate a patient\u2019s individual factors and help us determine the best prognosis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Chogle emphasized the potential in practice management and patient communication, citing an AI-powered video that could translate practice information into multiple languages: \u201cA very small aspect, but it\u2019s how it\u2019s incorporating into almost everything we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the issue prepares for publication, the editors also are looking forward to the AAE remaining engaged and proactive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a first step,\u201d said Dr. Chogle. \u201cBut it does need a proactive and consistent effort that will help us stay on top of AI incorporation into dentistry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The issue, \u201cModern Endodontics: Focus on AI,\u201d will be available in print and digitally later this month via DCNA.
