However, it struggles to assess nuanced competencies like dexterity and clinical judgment. The challenges faced include disparate definitions of AI, ethical and privacy concerns, model variability, and a deficiency of dental leadership in AI development.

This study aimed to investigate the shear bond strengths of resin composite to hypomineralised enamel and dentin bonded with two different adhesive systems and pre-treatments. <b>Methods</b>: Thirty-six freshly extracted first permanent molars with MIH and 17 sound third molars were used for shear bond strength tests in enamel and dentin. Specimens of control groups were bonded to resin composite using Scotchbond^TM Universal Plus and Adper^TM Scotchbond 1XT.
