AI-Powered Language Models for Dental Diagnostic Codes
Our research explores the application of natural language processing (NLP) to automate and standardize dental diagnostic coding. AI models analyze electronic dental records (EDRs) and clinical notes, ensuring accurate classification of conditions, treatments, and billing codes, ultimately improving documentation efficiency and patient care.
