Cost‐Effectiveness of AI‐Assisted Detection of Apical Periodontitis on Panoramic Radiographs

AI-assisted diagnostics offer significant potential to improve cost-effectiveness by reducing overtreatment, with benefits being most pronounced among less experienced practitioners. Adapting AI systems to individual examiners or experience levels might further enhance clinical and economic impact.

Abstract

AI-assisted diagnostics offer significant potential to improve cost-effectiveness by reducing overtreatment, with benefits being most pronounced among less experienced practitioners. Adapting AI systems to individual examiners or experience levels might further enhance clinical and economic impact.
