EXISTING AND EMERGING APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENDODONTICS

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) can imitate human intelligence for complex decision-making in healthcare, leading to enormous growth. It has a wide range of applications in dentistry, particularly in endodontics. This paper explores existing AI applications in endodontics and anticipates future developments. Methods: We reviewed articles on AI uses in endodontics to get relevant information. Results: AI simulations, including convolutional and artificial neural networks, have been beneficial in endodontics for investigating root canal morphology, identifying apical conditions and fractures, as well as estimating working length. Evaluations are used to determine the vitality of stem cells from dental pulp and the effectiveness of retreatment procedures. Scheduling, patient care, drug interactions, prognostic diagnosis, and robotic-assisted endodontic surgery are examples of possible applications for this technology. Conclusions: Artificial intelligence can accurately identify, determine, and anticipate diseases in endodontics. AI can enhance diagnosis and therapy, leading to better outcomes. The success of endodontic treatment results. Before implementing AI models in clinical practice, it's important to ensure their trustworthiness, applicability, and cost-effectiveness.
