Its primary goals are to eliminate the infectious sources within the root canal system, cure the disease, and preserve the natural teeth. The therapeutic outcomes of RCT are influenced by multiple factors, including the patient's systemic health, tooth position, root canal anatomy, severity of infection, and the choice of instruments and treatment techniques. Establishing a difficulty assessment standard for RCT based on the anatomical characteristics of the Chinese root canal systems is crucial. By comprehensively considering the basic and additional factors related to intraoperative procedures, determining the distribution range of difficulty coefficients for each tooth position, and setting the grading criteria for RCT difficulty, clinicians can conduct pre-treatment assessments of the patient's systemic and oral conditions, as well as the specific conditions of the affected tooth and root canals. This pre-treatment evaluations and outcome predictions are keys to improve therapeutic efficacy. In 2004, Zhou Xuedong with her team spearheaded the formulation of the Difficulty Assessment Criteria for Root Canal Therapy by the Endodontics Committee of the Chinese Stomatological Association, which had since been widely promoted and applied. Based on advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of endodontic diseases, Huang et al. proposed difficulty assessment for endodontic therapy in 2024. Building on recent evidence regarding tooth development and the anatomical characteristics of root canal system in the Chinese population, as well as in accordance with national requirements for clinical pathways and hierarchical diagnosis and treatment of RCT, this expert consensus was developed by 47 experts from 28 institutions across China. It further refines the clinical definitions and grading criteria for relevant risk factors. Through quantitative assessment, the consensus aims to identify potential treatment difficulties and risks before treatment, guide the selection of appropriate treatment strategies and operative techniques, and provide an objective preoperative assessment of case difficulty and treatment prognosis. It also establishes the correspondence between different levels of treatment difficulty and clinician competency, case referral, and clinical education. These measures are intended to facilitate effective clinician-patient communication, mitigate clinical risks, standardize clinical treatment pathways, and support hierarchical diagnosis and treatment of pulp and periradicular diseases based on treatment difficulty. Ultimately, the expert consensus aims to improve the success rate of RCT and tooth preservation, promoting the high-quality development of endodontics in China.</p>","PeriodicalId":23965,"journal":{"name":"中华口腔医学杂志","volume":"61 10","pages":"1409-1418"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149082218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of these, 100 cases were assigned to the condylar morphological analysis set and 539 to the AI model development set (training set: 443 cases; validation set: 49 cases; test set: 47 cases). Two clinicians independently performed condylar segmentation and annotated 12 osseous landmarks on the development set, and the annotations that passed consistency evaluation served as the ground truth. The PointRend model (adaptive point sampling) and the PoseNet-3D model (supervised learning with 3D Gaussian heatmaps) were separately trained on the training and validation sets. On the test set, the performance of the PointRend model was evaluated using the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), 95% Hausdorff distance (HD95), and recall rate, and that of the PoseNet-3D model was evaluated using the mean radial error (MRE) and successful detection rate (SDR). The two models were then applied to the morphological analysis set to obtain condylar morphological parameters, including the anteroposterior diameter, mediolateral diameter, and height, as well as their bilateral means and absolute differences. Generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA), Pearson correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and K-means clustering were used to evaluate age-related condylar morphological differences, major sources of variation, and natural groupings. <b>Results:</b> The PointRend model achieved a DSC of 93.67%, a HD95 of (0.63±0.19) mm, and a recall rate of 89.27%± 5.91%. The PoseNet-3D model achieved a MRE of (1.2±0.23) mm, with the SDR within 2.5 mm reaching 94.53%. The predominant trend in condylar morphology from 6 to 14 years of age was the enhancement of vertical features. K-means clustering partitioned the samples into three developmental stages (6-7, 8-10, and 11-14 years), and condylar height was the most discriminative growth parameter. <b>Conclusions:</b> The two AI models developed in this study enable automated segmentation and quantitative evaluation of three-dimensional condylar morphology, reveal the stage-specific developmental patterns and allometric growth of the condyle, and establish condylar growth reference values from mixed dentition to early permanent dentition.</p>","PeriodicalId":23965,"journal":{"name":"中华口腔医学杂志","volume":"61 10","pages":"1497-1506"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149082212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
