Breaking Down Barriers and Paving the Way for Blockchain Adoption in Dentistry.

Blockchain technology can potentially transform the dentistry sector by facilitating safe communication between dental practitioners and offering secure and efficient administration of patient information. Nevertheless, using this technology in dentistry confronts various barriers, including regulatory and legal obstacles, a lack of technical skills, and a lack of standardization. To overcome these challenges, dental practitioners, industry stakeholders, and regulators must work together to develop a legislative framework that encourages the use of blockchain technology in dentistry. Moreover, education and training programs must equip dental practitioners with the skills and expertise to properly incorporate and use blockchain technology. The use of blockchain technology in dentistry has the potential to greatly improve patient outcomes while also increasing the efficiency and security of the dental business.
