Recent development in the field of artificial intelligence has influenced dentistry, and particularly endodontics. Such AI-driven algorithms show great promise in improving the accuracy of diagnostics, treatment planning, and the actual conduct of endodontic treatment, as well as predicting treatment outcomes. AI has already started to prove itself useful in endodontics by improving the detection of periapical pathologies and root fractures, the estimation of root canal anatomy, the determination of working lengths, and the prediction of treatment outcomes. Further development and dissemination of this technology could significantly enhance endodontic practice and contribute to natural dentition conservation. However, despite AI bringing a better success rate and efficiency in the field of endodontic treatments, further studies are still needed to keep on validating their reliability and practicality for wider clinical integrations. This review is undertaken with the purpose of discussing recent advances in AI and describing their applications in the field of endodontics.
