BACKGROUND: Evaluating the quality of root canal filling (RCF) performed by dental students in preclinical settings is a time-consuming process for clinicians and is often subjectively assessed.
BACKGROUND: Deep-learning networks are promising techniques in dentistry. This study developed and validated a deep-learning network, You Only Look Once (YOLO) v5, for the automatic evaluation of root-canal filling quality on periapical radiographs.
OBJECTIVES: This work proposes a novel method to evaluate root canal filling (RCF) success using artificial intelligence (AI) and image analysis techniques.
