Digital health and artificial intelligence (AI) have been evolving rapidly in recent years. These are the new reality that will bring improvements and innovations to the healthcare sector. It will support the work of health professionals and bring new hope to patients to improve their health. The aim of the current study is to investigate the application of artificial intelligence in medicine. In recent years the innovations in the health sector are immense. The digitalization of information in medicine creates many new opportunities for improving and perfecting the healthcare sector and providing health services at a very high level. AI is successfully implemented in medicine and dental medicine education. Artificial intelligence and digital health are one step forward in modernizing and improving the educational and healthcare system, which would benefit both physicians and patients.

Introduction: Choanal atresia is a rare disorder presenting with complete separation between the nasal cavity and the nasopharynx. There are two types of this abnormal blockage of the nasal airway – congenital and acquired. Material and Methods: This paper presents the case of a 54-years-old woman administered to the clinics for septoplasty. During the preoperative diagnostic process via CT scan and endoscope examination a coincidental finding was diagnosed – unilateral congenital choanal atresia. The medical history of the patient revealed difficult nasal breathing which is absent in the right nasal airway, also frequent rhinosinusitis, moreover orthodontic problems with her dentition and malocclusion; regarding her post-birth period she was on feeding tube and with oxygen mask in a neonatal clinic for several months; no facial traumas reported during the rest of her life. Results: Septoplasty was managed and endoscopic assisted fenestration in the choanal regional was performed viatransseptal access. Seven days postoperatively before the removal of the septal splints a CT scan was performed for evaluation of the surgical treatment and three months later – endoscopy which displayed well-formed without postoperative stenosis neochoana. Conclusion: The congenital choanal atresia is a rare abnormality which determines the insufficient clinical experience with this disorder. It is possible that many cases could have been missed or misdiagnosed because of the low incidence of the condition. The conducted literature review reveals that the case report we are presenting is one of the oldest patients diagnosed with unilateral, congenital, bony choanal atresia.

Human posture is defined as any position that determines the balance with maximum stability, minimum energy consumption and minimum stress on the anatomical structures. Research done on posture makes authors look at the postural system as a whole. The aim of this article is to preview the connections between dentistry, postural science and vestibulogy. Scientific databases – Scopus, MEDLINE, PubMed were used for the research, with the following keywords – posturology, vertigo, dental medicine, orthodontics, pathological bite, for the 2000–2020-time period. Apart from scientific articles, information from different symposiums and lectures was included. The target was to briefly point out and summarize the most important relations between the topics. Posture is controlled by the central nervous system (CNS), leading to postural corrections. They are the result of a complex system of mechanisms, controlled by multisensory CNS-integrated inputs. The fine postural system (FPS) aims to maintain balance in the most economical way possible. Stomatognathic system is another functional unit, connected to postural system. The science that studies human posture is called posturology and is a part of integrative medicine. Integrative clinical posturology is a complex, multidisciplinary science that uses various investigation methods in several stages: detailed anamnesis; An in-depth posturological examination – including measurements and tests – for vestibular and visual function and stabilometry. In conclusion, it can be said that posturology is a modern and, at the same time, an ancient constantly evolving, interdisciplinary, “borderline” science. It unites different specialists and helps to build an individual approach to each patient, providing a higher quality of life. There is a connection between vestibular disorders, posturological science and dentistry. Through the methods of the science for posture, occurring disorders can be detected at a much earlier stage and appearance of severe pathology prevented.
