Brief Summary

to detect the Accuracy of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Detecting Number of Root Canal of Human Mandibular Second Molar: Diagnostic Accuracy Experimental Study.

Conditions

Detecting Number of Root Canal of Human Mandibular Second Molar

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of root canals detected

  Detected by AI software

  within one year

Study Arms (2)

morphology of canals in lower second mandibular molar

EXPERIMENTAL

Anatomical variations in root canal systems, such as the presence of an additional root canal, are common, and failure to detect all canals can lead to treatment failure.

Procedure: CBCT

Number of canals in lower second mandibular molar

EXPERIMENTAL

Number of canals in lower second mandibular molar

Procedure: AI

Interventions

AI PROCEDURE

Detection of all canals in patients indicated for root canal therapy in lower second molars by Artificial Intelligence Dental operating microscope and CBCT

Number of canals in lower second mandibular molar

CBCT PROCEDURE

CBCT scans performed to all participants, will be randomly distributed upon postgraduate students using randomization software
