First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) software can accurately detect periapical lesions (infections at the root tip) in human teeth, compared to CBCT (3D X-ray) imaging. Researchers enrolled 100 medically healthy adults aged 18–50 with infected permanent teeth. The goal was to see if AI could serve as a reliable diagnostic tool, potentially reducing the need for more expensive or higher-radiation scans.
