Monitoring oral health remotely: ethical considerations when using AI among vulnerable populations.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Technological innovations in dentistry are revolutionizing the monitoring and management of oral health. This perspective article critically examines the rapid expansion of remote monitoring technologies-including artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics, electronic health records (EHR), wearable devices, mobile health applications, and chatbots-and discusses their ethical, legal, and social implications. The accelerated adoption of these digital tools, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, has enhanced accessibility to care while simultaneously raising significant concerns regarding patient consent, data privacy, and algorithmic biases. We review current applications ranging from AI-assisted detection of dental pathologies to blockchain-enabled data transfer within EHR systems, highlighting the potential for improved diagnostic accuracy and the risks associated with over-reliance on remote assessments. Furthermore, we underscore the challenges posed by the digital divide, where disparities in digital literacy and access may inadvertently exacerbate existing socio-economic and health inequalities. This article calls for the development and rigorous implementation of ethical frameworks and regulatory guidelines that ensure the reliability, transparency, and accountability of digital health innovations. By integrating multidisciplinary insights, our discussion aims to foster a balanced approach that maximizes the clinical benefits of emerging technologies while safeguarding patient autonomy and promoting equitable healthcare delivery.
