简要总结
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and specifically deep learning (DL) have shown great potentials in finding radiographic features and treatment planning in the field of cariology and endodontics . A growing body of literature suggests that DL models might assist dental practitioners in detecting radiographical features such as carious lesions, periapical lesions, as well as predicting the risk of pulp exposure when doing caries excavation therapy. Although, current literature lacks sufficient research on the effect of sufficient training of dental practitioners for using AI-based platforms. This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to assess the performance of students when using an AI-based platform for pulp exposure prediction with and without sufficient preprocedural training. The hypothesis is that participants performance at group with sufficient training is similar to the group without sufficient training.

研究组 & 干预措施
Students using AI-platform for assessing the risk of pulp exposure receiving a training session
Students will go through a one-hour hands-on training session before taking the test at the online platform. The session includes a theoretical session related to basic aspects of AI in radiology, CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) applications for cariology and endodontics, as well as basics of excavation therapy and pulp exposure. the theoretical part will be followed by a hands on session on which participants check 11 cases of teeth with deep caries and will find the closest line between caries and pulp.
Then, they will receive access to log in to the website on which pretreatment x-rays of cases undergoing caries excavation therapy is uploaded. The performance of students on will be assessed.
干预措施: receiving a one hour theoretical and hands on training session before using an AI-based platform (Behavioral)
Students using AI-platform for assessing the risk of pulp exposure without any training session
Students will not receive any training before starting the experiment. Only a 5-minute video will be played as the guide for answering the questions in the website. Then, they will receive access to log in to the website on which pretreatment x-rays of cases undergoing caries excavation therapy is uploaded. The performance of students on will be assessed.
结局指标
主要结局
Performance of students at pulp exposure prediction in the AI-based platform with and without training session based on their sensitivity
时间窗: 30 days
The sensitivity of students at both group (with and without training session) will be measured and compared together. It will be based on the proportion of actual pulp exposure cases that got predicted as pulp exposure (true positive).
Performance of students at pulp exposure prediction in the AI-based platform with and without training session based on their accuracy
时间窗: 30 days
The accuracy of students at both group (with and without training session) will be measured and compared together. The accuracy measurement for each student will be calculated by the number of correct predictions of pulp exposure occurrence divided by the total predictions.
Performance of students at pulp exposure prediction in the AI-based platform with and without training session based on their specificity
时间窗: 30 days
The specificity of students at both group (with and without training session) will be measured and compared together. It will be based on the proportion of actual 'no pulp exposure' cases correctly predicted as cases without pulp exposure (true negative).
