Inclusion of AI in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics: A New Era of Precision and Efficiency

Recent advancements in science and technology have led to the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within dentistry. AI-driven algorithms hold significant promise for enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, execution of endodontic procedures, and predicting treatment outcomes. A literature review was conducted to explore the applications of AI in conservative dentistry and endodontics. AI models have been utilized to analyze root canal system anatomy, determine root canal length, detect periapical pathologies and root fractures, predict the success of retreatment procedures, and assess the viability of dental pulp stem cells. AI has already demonstrated its value in conservative dentistry and endodontics. As this technology continues to evolve and expand in application, it is expected to further enhance clinical outcomes and support the preservation of natural teeth.
