Abstract: In recent years，artificial intelligence has been extensively utilized in the research of stomatology. Endodontics，as a significant branch of stomatology，has incorporated artificial intelligence in multiple aspects，such as tooth image segmentation，structure recognition，disease diagnosis，adjunctive treatment，and prognosis prediction，which has achieved satisfactory outcomes. Dentists have not only enhanced clinical work efficiency and reduced the workload but also improved the accuracy of diagnosis，which facilitates the customization of more reasonable treatment regimens for patients. Therefore，the advent of artificial intelligence may potentially serve as a significant impetus for the advancement of endodontics. Despite the broad application prospects of artificial intelligence in endodontics，several technical and ethical issues still need to be addressed prior to its widespread application in clinical practice. This article reviews the application and limitations of artificial intelligence in endodontics.

摘要： 近年来，人工智能在口腔医学研究中广泛应用。牙体牙髓病学作为口腔医学的重要分支，在牙体图像分割、结构识别、疾病诊断、辅助治疗和预后预测等多个方面引入人工智能，并取得了令人满意的结果；口腔医生不仅提升了临床工作效率，减轻了工作负担，还提高了诊断的准确性，这有助于为患者定制更加合理的治疗方案。因此，人工智能的出现或可成为推动牙体牙髓病学发展的一大助力。尽管人工智能在牙体牙髓病学中的应用前景广阔，但在广泛应用于临床实践之前，仍需解决一些技术和伦理问题。文章就人工智能在牙体牙髓病学中的应用及局限性做一综述。
