AI dentist: software matches 3D scans at finding hidden tooth infections
NCT ID NCT07319182
First seen Jan 11, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether artificial intelligence software can detect periapical lesions (infections at the root tip of teeth) as accurately as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), a type of 3D X-ray. Researchers compared the AI's results to CBCT scans in 100 medically healthy adults aged 18-50 with permanent teeth. The goal was to see if AI could be a reliable, faster, or cheaper diagnostic tool for dentists.
