Abstract
BACKGROUND: Identifying fractured endodontic instruments (FEIs) in periapical radiographs (PAs) is a critical yet challenging aspect of root canal treatment (RCT) due to anatomical complexities and overlapping structures. Deep learning (DL) models offer potential solutions, yet their comparative performance in this domain remains underexplored.
