Dental As Anything ·

2024/05/09

In a span of only 30 years, the cost of a dental education has gone from zero to anywhere from $60,000 to $430,000. With inflation running hot over the past few years, many graduates are seeing their debt increasing.

This week Matt discusses these recent changes to HECS indexation, the need for further reform and the impact of increasing student debt on the dental profession.

2024/04/11

Being a competent dental practitioner is about much more than just surgical skills, and it is important that we focus more broadly on our role as physicians of the mouth. Dental education, like any form of education, is a beginning and not an end. It starts the journey, equipping graduates with knowledge and skills that can then be built on, and indeed must be built on, over time. It also equips them to adapt as the profession changes and adapts. This week Matt talks about the issues of dental

Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms will play an increasingly important role in dental practice, and there is no escaping that inevitability. But it is not without risk. Alongside efficiencies in the way that dentistry is practised, there are concerns about over-diagnosing, data security and privacy, the use by third parties and direct-to-consumer applications, and on the wellbeing of dental practitioners. This week Matt is again joined by Dr Max Ganhewa to discuss some of these

According to this week’s guest Dr Max Ganhewa, the answer is a resounding yes.Machine learning algorithms are able to detect dental caries and periodontal disease by assessing radiographs.There is an opportunity to improve treatment decisions too, and this information might help guide patients to assess options as part of the informed consent process.

Jodie explores these issues and more during this episode.
