Russian Dentists Turn to Artificial Intelligence and 3D Technologies

At the Borovskie Chteniya – 2026 conference at the Borovsky Institute of Dentistry of Sechenov University, more than 20 students from different countries presented projects and research in artificial intelligence and advanced medical technologies in dentistry.

Yulia Kurenkova, a postgraduate researcher at the institute, developed a digital system for analyzing diseases of the oral mucosa. A neural network was trained to detect deviations from normal conditions, including cases where diagnosis is particularly challenging. Third-year Iranian students at Sechenov University’s Institute of International Relations – Mahdi Soltani, Mohammad Mahdi Taghavi and Razieh Eskandari – presented a device designed to deliver safer anesthesia.

Particular attention was given to the use of the FreeVision 3D surgical digital microscope, manufactured by the Krasnogorsk Plant named after Zverev and Shvabe, a holding of state corporation Rostec. The dental operating microscope generates a digital 3D image and improves surgical precision.

Sergei Morozov, development director at the Krasnogorsk Plant named after Zverev, said the device is the first product specifically designed for dentistry in the plant’s 20 years of manufacturing medical equipment. About 20 units are planned for release in 2026.

Igor Mitrofanov, president of the International Association “3D Dentistry,” said the microscope is likely to see broad adoption in clinics in the coming years.
