It is my pleasure to introduce to you Dr. Rayan Skafi. I had such a great time talking about his favorite pieces of technology. Along with learning some basics on how teledentistry and artificial intelligence work in dentistry.

Dr. Rayan Skafi received his DMD degree from the University of Saint-Joseph, where he also earned a certificate of advanced graduate studies in prosthodontics. He worked in private dental practice for four years before pursuing a master’s degree in biotechnologies management from ESCP Europe in Paris. After that, he started working at Dental Monitoring, a leading innovator of dental technology, as a Clinical Education Officer. Dr. Skafi works closely with global Key Opinion Leaders in the dental industry to develop and implement a strong educational program teaching dental professionals how to adopt innovative technologies, such as AI-driven solutions and teledentistry, in order to evolve their practices. Dr. Skafi believes that patient empowerment and technological development are making space for the delocalization of healthcare, requiring not only the adoption of disruptive technologies but also changes in stakeholders’ systems and attitudes.
