    The Future of Periodontology, AI in Dentistry, and Implant Complications with Dr. Brett Wetherington

    Are you curious about the evolving landscape of periodontology and how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of dental care? In this episode of the Spark Study Club podcast, host Adrian Good sits down with Dr. Brett Wetherington, a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology practicing in Southern California. Dr. Wetherington shares his personal journey into the specialty and tackles the biggest misconceptions surrounding Artificial Intelligence in dentistry. He emphasizes that AI is here to serve as a supportive tool for clinicians, not a replacement. Looking ahead to the next five years, Dr. Wetherington discusses the anticipated rise in implant complications and soft tissue deficiencies, stressing the critical importance of selecting the right implantable materials for each unique patient rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. This brief interview serves as the perfect primer for Dr. Wetherington’s upcoming continuing education webinar, "Growth Factors: The New Gold Standard in Bone Tissue Regeneration". During this live session, he will dive deep into predictable outcomes for hard tissue regeneration and introduce his clinical experience with a new product called Allospark.
