A webinar on 20 May will examine how artificial intelligence and big data analytics can reshape restorative and reconstructive dentistry. The session will be led by Dr Tim Joda, head of e-health at the University of Zurich's Clinic of Reconstructive Dentistry, and will explore how AI-driven systems can integrate patient e-health data with genomic, proteomic and metabolic information to support clinical decision-making and treatment planning.

How AI and data integration support clinical workflows

The webinar will cover how AI systems enable more personalised, efficient and predictive workflows in restorative dentistry. Participants will learn how data-driven innovation can enhance risk prediction, optimise treatment strategies and support smarter clinical decisions. Dr Joda's research focuses on applying digital technologies, e-health data systems and AI to implant workflows and prosthetic treatment, making the content especially relevant for clinicians working in restorative and implant dentistry.

Wider digital ecosystem in modern dentistry

Beyond AI and big data, the webinar will also address the broader digital landscape influencing dental practice. Topics include telehealth, augmented and virtual reality, rapid prototyping, connected clinical devices, and social media technologies. Dr Joda holds certifications in prosthodontics, periodontics and implant dentistry, plus postgraduate qualifications in prosthodontics, biomaterials, biomedical technology and business administration.

The webinar runs on 20 May at 7 p.m. CEST. Attendance is free with registration. Participants who complete a post-webinar quiz will receive 0.5 continuing education credits.
