Summary

The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate an artificial intelligence-based model capable of analyzing periapical radiographs of maxillary and mandibular molars to predict the difficulty level of non-surgical root canal retreatment. By integrating deep learning techniques with routinely acquired periapical radiographs, this study aims to enhance diagnostic support, improve clinical decision-making, and facilitate appropriate case selection or referral in endodontic practice.

Deep Learning Model to Predict Endodontic Retreatment Difficulty from Periapical Radiographs

This study will employ a retrospective diagnostic accuracy design focused on the development and validation of a deep learning-based model for automated prediction of endodontic retreatment difficulty in maxillary and mandibular molars using periapical radiographs. The methodology will involve radiographic data acquisition, expert annotation of case difficulty according to standardized criteria, deep learning model development and training, and comprehensive performance evaluation of the proposed system.
