The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Dentists' Decision-Making Process During Caries Detection

This study aims to evaluate the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the decision-making process for intervention after caries lesion detection. Participants will be dentists working in the Netherlands randomly divided into two groups. Dentists will be divided into two groups and receive a set of bitewing radiographs, which first will be evaluated with or without AI support according to their group. Participants will examine caries lesions on the radiographs and formulate treatment plans accordingly. Then, after a wash-out period of one month, the same radiographs, but in the opposite condition of AI support and again formulate treatment suggestions according to the present caries lesions.
