Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an essential component of modern dental innovation, especially within endodontics, where precision and diagnostic accuracy are critical. Although AI is not directly referenced in traditional dental care literature, its foundational value mirrors the importance of high-quality dental care emphasized in existing studies. Just as high-quality clinical procedures improve patient outcomes (Awasthi & Walumbwa, 2023), AI enhances clinicians’ diagnostic ability by processing large datasets with superior speed and consistency. Similarly, the emphasis on improving overall healthcare experiences in dentistry (Tartaglia, 2021) parallels AI’s potential to streamline workflows, reduce uncertainty, and enhance treatment planning. Thus, AI represents a technological extension of the long-standing principles of accuracy, safety, and patient-centered care.
