About this list.

This list covers the speakers who taught applied artificial intelligence in clinical, administrative and patient-facing dentistry at dentistry's major continuing-education meetings in 2026. It is unranked and shown in alphabetical order, because the number of speakers teaching applied AI at more than one major meeting is still too small to rank honestly.

The order is alphabetical by last name and carries no meaning; nobody on it has been given a place. The Index records where dentistry's program committees chose to put their podium time, and is not a measure of teaching quality, speaker fees or audience ratings. Every appearance shown on this page links to the organizer's own published program.

Being listed reflects where a speaker taught this year. It does not mean they work only in dentistry.
