Under the Spotlight the clinician and cautions against trusting machine over a human. For instance, “If we ask the artificial intelligence in dentistry today, ‘I don’t know if I should extract this tooth and replace it with an implant or if I should keep it; perhaps it has a good prognosis.’ “If a machine is educated by periodontists after reading thousands of x-rays, it may lean towards keeping the tooth since the periodontists have experience in salvaging it. But if the machine is conditioned by implantologists, given the same case, it may propose an extraction because from the experience of the implantologists, implant offers a good solution.” But with the human touch, a clinician can spot a nerve that the machine was not able to. And in this case, the clinician will have to make the decision that the implant has to be shorter or it would violate the nerve. “As long as we remember this, we will be safe,” he said. Cultivating future generations Going back to his job as head of the Department of Postgraduate Education & programme director of the Master in Oral Implantology, Dr Weigl stressed that continuing education is also the key to become a good dentist or surgeon. With science advancing at lightning speed, one of Dr. Weigl’s desires for his students is to ‘learn how to learn’. Learning should not stop after they have completed his course, in fact, he urged them to keep themselves up to date with the latest breakthroughs through reading scientific papers and attending congresses. Discernment is also important. “At any dental show, when they’re being shown new technology, they need to know when to say, ‘This is good. It is honest and objective,’ or ‘This is nonsense because they don’t have a good material method,’ or ‘This is just a selling show because they have a bad exclusive culture,’” he said. Bolstered by the positive feedback from his Chinese implantology students, Dr Weigl wants to reach out to other international students who are also affected by language barriers such as the Latin American implantologist. As a matter of fact, planning efforts are already currently underway. In addition, he would also like to train his students to think from the perspective of a ‘director’ and learn to take a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to their patients. Often, a specialist, no matter the field of study, will only see the problem from his own standpoint. A student who engages with a colleague outside of his own discipline may be able to avoid complications that he did not foresee. By working together as a team, there could be a viable solution or an alternative for a complex case that would not have been possible if they had worked alone. And this will be one of the focuses of his new post-graduate course in aesthetic dentistry. Besides the treatment and documentation of 20 patients in his home country, each student will also perform three implant treatments under the supervision of a tutor of Goethe University “When you see a patient getting better after two months, and how glad they are, it is tremendously rewarding,” Dr. Weigl commented.
