Artificial Intelligence for Detection of External Cervical Resorption Using Label- Efficient Self-Supervised Learning Method
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: The aim of this study was to leverage label-efficient self-supervised learning (SSL) to train a model that can detect ECR and differentiate it from caries.
At the conclusion of this article, the reader will be able to:
- Describe the value and importance of self-supervised learning methods in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
- Describe the function of AI models in detecting external cervical resorption (ECR) and differentiating it from root/tooth caries.
- Describe the value of introducing AI to the field of Endodontics for detecting ECR.
