In this throwback episode, Zach and Kevin are joined by Kevin's son and expert on AI in dentistry, Charlie Fryer! Charlie discusses his master's thesis on applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the diagnosis of Class II caries (decay) in dentistry. Charlie, a chemical engineer with a background in data science from Georgia Tech, explains the immense, data-intensive challenges of using a deep learning model to create an objective diagnostic tool for Class II decay from bite-wing X-rays. Both hosts express an optimistic view of AI's inevitable and positive integration into dentistry as a tool to flag potential issues for the clinician's review, improving patient care and eliminating missed diagnoses.
