Artificial intelligence in conservative dentistry and endodontics: A game-changer

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has mostly been used by dental practitioners to diagnose problems, plan treatments, make clinical judgments, and predict outcomes. In endodontics, convolutional neural networks and artificial neural networks, two types of (AI) models, have been used to study the anatomy of the root canal system, measure the length of root canal, identify periapical pathology and root fractures, prediction of success of retreatment procedures, and dental pulp stem cells viability. The goal of this review is to assess AI's role in conservative dentistry and endodontics.
