On behalf of all the academic staff and students of the Faculty of Dentistry, Jordan University of Science and Technology, I would like to extend our warmest welcome to all the participants to our International Conference on AI in Dental Education: Transforming the future of learning and Practice. Just like the previous conferences, I am confident that this conference will play an important role in encouraging activities in research and development of the future of Dentistry in Jordan, and give an excellent opportunity to forge collaborations between research institutions both within the country and with international partners. The broad scope of this event, which includes both theoretical aspects of AI and digital dentistry and practical, applied experience through the workshops, provides a unique meeting ground for participants spanning the whole spectrum of our discipline. I hope that over the next few days, some fruitful collaborations can be established.

I also hope that the special attention devoted this year to the field of AI, including the very exciting area of digital planning and execution, will ignite the development of applications in this area to address the various patient dental needs.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the distinguished invited speakers for their presence and contributions to the conference. I also thank all the program committee members for their efforts.

Finally, I sincerely hope that all the participants will benefit from the technical content of this conference, and wish you a very successful conference and an enjoyable stay in Irbid.
