Abstract

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence has significantly reshaped clinical diagnostic and treatment models，with deep learning（DL）emerging as a key contributor. In the field of dentistry， DL has demonstrated remarkable potential，particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of pulpal and periapical diseases. By recognizing and learning patterns within data， DL models assist dentists in automating disease localization，diagnosis，and prognosis prediction. This article seeks to review the application of DL in the clinical management of pulpal and periapical diseases，offering insights that may serve as a useful reference for clinical practice.

Key words: Artificial intelligence, Deep learning, Pulpal and periapical diseases
