Health Harmony 2.0: Unleashing Your Super-Provider Power Through
AI-Driven Prevention
(Code: 250)
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Step into your super-provider era with a dynamic, prevention-first approach powered by artificial intelligence. This clinically focused course transforms oral–systemic science into action, showing hygienists and dental teams how to harness AI-assisted diagnostics, imaging, and analytics to detect risk earlier, personalize prevention, and enhance patient outcomes. Participants will explore how technology streamlines documentation, calibrates perio and caries protocols, and connects medical and dental care through data-driven communication. Attendees leave equipped to lead their practices with clinical precision, interprofessional collaboration, and the confidence that the numbers truly equate to care.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe how AI-enhanced diagnostic tools identify oral–systemic risk factors in caries, periodontal disease, airway health, and metabolic indicators.
- Demonstrate methods for integrating digital imaging, analytics, and data platforms to improve diagnostic precision and calibration across the hygiene department.
- Develop prevention-driven clinical protocols that elevate hygiene to a leadership role in whole-body health and prove that the numbers equate to care.
- Implement adjunctive therapies and interprofessional communication strategies that personalize prevention, optimize outcomes, and expand each clinician’s super-provider potential.
