Abstract

Diagnostic oral radiology has entered a transformative phase, evolving far beyond its traditional role of image acquisition into a discipline driven by precision, integration, and intelligence [1]. What was once confined to two-dimensional representations is now a sophisticated, multidimensional diagnostic ecosystem that directly influences clinical decision-making, prognosis, and patient-centered care
