| description | Quantum computing, powered by principles such as superposition and entanglement, holds the promise to revolutionize health care and dentistry by solving problems that classical computers struggle with. With its ability to process massive datasets and simulate molecular behavior at lightning speed, quantum computing could pave the way for breakthroughs in disease diagnosis, treatment, and drug discovery. In dentistry, it offers exciting possibilities for improving treatment planning, early disease detection, and the creation of new materials. However, challenges such as high costs, security concerns, and regulatory hurdles stand in the way of fully embracing this technology. Addressing these issues requires collaboration between medical and dental professionals, quantum scientists, and regulatory bodies. This review explores the potential of quantum computing to reshape health care and dentistry, highlights current applications, and identifies the steps needed to overcome the barriers, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and make advanced solutions more accessible. |
