Introduction In conventional endodontics, diagnosis and treatment planning have long relied on two‑dimensional (2D) periapical radiographs and. The practical reading is to separate established principles from emerging claims, then match the recommendation to diagnosis, risk, patient preference and operator competence.
DentalReach Critical Appraisal:
Clinical translation starts with a defensible pulpal and apical diagnosis. Canal anatomy, restorability, isolation, disinfection and the coronal seal usually matter more than adopting a new material or device in isolation.
DentalReach Practice Perspective:
Technology should be judged by diagnostic or therapeutic gain, calibration, failure modes, workflow burden, cost and external validation. Human oversight remains essential when an output may change irreversible treatment.
DentalReach Evidence Review:
The key unresolved issue is generalisability: which patient, lesion or procedural feature would make you choose another approach? Defining that boundary is often more educational than simply agreeing with the conclusion.
