The thing about medical expertise is that so little if it is conveyed through the literature, because of the limitations of text and even images/recordings. Things like symptoms and disease progression have very particular looks and feel that can’t be easily conveyed. Also, the full explanation of what normal and healthy is is also poorly expressed. In your profession, there is probably a lot of nuance to exactly the right amount of pressure to exert on teeth in different circumstances.

If I were you I would catalogue where the literature falls short, and where/how you did gain your expertise, without trying to explain exactly what to do. In other words, tell the developers where they need to focus their efforts.

I agree with your assessment that a lot of what medical professionals do can and arguably should be supplanted by technological solutions with deep and subtle expertise built in. I think besides the software we are waiting on robotics better capabilities, particularly things like sensory feedback as detailed as human skin.
