Abstract

Endodontics has always been a specialty of precision. From diagnosing subtle periapical pathoses to negotiating complex root canal anatomies, clinicians have traditionally relied on their experience, intuition, and radiographic interpretation. Yet, these processes are prone to human error, inter-observer variability, and limitations of human perception. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force across healthcare, and endodontics is no exception. By harnessing the power of machine learning, deep learning, and image recognition, AI is reshaping how clinicians diagnose, plan, and execute treatment while simultaneously influencing education and research.
