AI finds extra root canals in lower premolar scans
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at 3D dental X-rays (CBCT scans) of lower premolars to find extra root canals that dentists might miss. It could help improve root canal treatment planning and make procedures more successful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a CBCT (3D X-ray) scan of your lower back teeth (premolars).
- The scan must be of a small area, not the whole jaw.
- The scan must be clear, without blur or metal artifacts.
- Your lower premolars must be fully grown and not have had root canal treatment before.

This study uses artificial intelligence to help dentists see and understand C-shaped root canals on 3D dental X-rays, which can be tricky to treat. If you're 18 or older and have had a CBCT scan of your teeth, this research might help improve root canal treatments.
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence can spot problems in root canal treatments seen on special X-rays (CBCT) compared to regular X-rays. If the AI finds an issue, a retreatment is done.
This study uses artificial intelligence and 3D dental imaging to check if any root canals were missed during previous root canal treatment on lower back teeth. It may help find hidden problems and guide better treatment.
This study uses existing 3D dental X-ray images to train an artificial intelligence system to better measure the length, shape, and curves of root canals. This could help dentists plan root canal treatments more accurately in the future.
This study tests an artificial intelligence tool to detect small infections around tooth roots using routine panoramic dental X-rays. You might benefit if your scans are used to more accurately spot these problems compared with standard reading.
This study tests whether an AI program can accurately assess the quality of root canal fillings from dental X-rays. It aims to help dentists evaluate whether root canal treatments were done well, which may reduce complications and guide further care.
