“ChatGPT makes up references.” Fair. The fix is not better guessing. It is giving AI a protocol it has to follow. I built 7 free dental research skills for appraisal, statistics, PubMed searches and GRADE. Free, no coding: periospot.com/dental-ai-skil… #AIinDentistry

Today, a bit about me — in case you just see a guy here who shares memes 😅 I’m Francisco, a curious mind on a lifelong mission to learn new skills and share a few along the way. My biggest achievement? Being a father to five incredible kids who challenge me daily to be more patient, creative, and present. Professionally, oral surgery is my passion, and I’ve spent years working to improve patient outcomes while learning everything I can about AI, digital dentistry, and education. But life isn’t all scalpels and sutures — when I’m not in the clinic, you’ll probably find me playing guitar or sharing a few life hacks that make things just a little easier for all of us. If you’re curious about the work I do or want to explore topics in dentistry, education, and technology, feel free to visit Periospot.com periospot.com/ — where I share content with a focus on learning, growth, and staying ahead of the curve.

Be careful with what you wish for 🎄

Every time I'm tempted to criticize another dentist's case, I take a quick look at my 'Horror Stories' folder. Amazing how that keeps you humble. 🦷

You don't need to master every implant procedure to start sharing your journey. Sometimes explaining a simple socket grafting technique teaches you more than performing it 100 times alone. The best surgeons are often the best teachers - expertise isn't accumulated in silence, it's sharpened through sharing. Excellence emerges when learning and teaching become one.

Only implantologists and prosthodontists will truly appreciate the pleasure behind this video.

Learning is a habit. Get addicted to it.
