Navigating AI Standards in Dentistry: A Roadmap for Responsible Innovation

The American Dental Association (ADA) has introduced new AI standards to guide the ethical and effective use of artificial intelligence in dentistry. Key documents include ADA White Paper No. 1106:2022, which outlines clinical and administrative applications; ADA Technical Report No. 1109:2025, focused on reducing algorithm bias through third-party validated datasets; and ANSI/ADA Standard No. 1110-1:2025, which standardizes radiograph data for AI training. An international ISO 18374 guideline is also in development. These standards aim to ensure safety, transparency, and equity in dental AI tools.
