#IADR2025 This Saturday, Room 116 Time 08:00 - 10:00 we will discuss AI in Dental Research

This is the easiest way to identify a high-quality AI research paper. Looks for this section: (this is from www.nature.com/articles/s43...)

done! thank you!

#peerreview

What should editors and reviewers look for in a dental AI paper?
We outline 4 key criteria:

- Clinical relevance;
