Full description

This cross-sectional study aims to perform a population-based assessment of the incidence of decay, dental fillings, root canal fillings, endodontic lesions, implants, implant and dental abutment crowns, pontic crowns, and missing teeth, considering the location. Patients with indications for dental X-ray confirmed by a written referral and with permanent dentition will participate in the study. Then, the X-rays will be analyzed by the dentists and the AI-based software after the data has been anonymized. The results will be compared to determine the AI algorithm's sensitivity, specificity, and precision.
