Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Periodontitis is a serious periodontal infection that damages the soft tissues and bone around teeth and is linked to systemic conditions. Accurate diagnosis and staging, complemented by radiographic evaluation, are vital. This systematic review (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023480552) explores artificial intelligence (AI) applications in assessing alveolar bone loss and periodontitis on dental panoramic and periapical radiographs.
