Abstract

OBJECTIVES: This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) assistance on dentists' diagnostic accuracy, confidence, and treatment decisions when detecting periapical radiolucencies (PRs) on panoramic radiographs. We specifically investigated whether AI support influenced diagnostic performance across different levels of clinical experience.
