Abstract
Graphic medicine, the use of visual storytelling to convey health-related information, is gaining recognition in dentistry for its ability to enhance patient understanding and engagement. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), this medium is being significantly enriched to support both educational and clinical objectives. This review aimed to assess the integration of AI into graphic medicine within dentistry, focusing on its applications in patient education, clinical decision-making, and professional training. This narrative review synthesizes current literature and technological developments regarding AI tools such as natural language processing, image recognition, and generative design-and their implementation in creating personalized and culturally appropriate graphic content for dental care. AI-driven graphic medicine tools enable the creation of adaptive, user-responsive visual materials that enhance communication about oral hygiene, dental procedures, and post-treatment care. These tools support real-time patient interaction and improve the clarity, accessibility, and inclusivity of health information, especially for children, geriatric patients, and individuals with limited health literacy or cognitive challenges. The integration of AI into graphic medicine represents a transformative advancement in dental practice. It holds substantial promise for improving patient outcomes by facilitating personalized education and enhancing clinical workflows.
