Published Date: Apr 4, 2025

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the diagnosis and treatment of dental caries, a prevalent issue in oral health care. Traditional diagnostic procedures such as eye inspection and radiography have limitations in detecting early-stage degradation. Artificial intelligence (AI) provides a viable alternative to improve diagnostic precision and effectiveness. This systematic review examines the diagnostic precision of artificial intelligence systems in identifying dental caries using X-ray images.
