This clinical trial was designed as a prospective, multicenter, multi-reader multi-case (MRMC), superiority, parallel-controlled study. Participants who met the trial criteria and signed the informed consent form were enrolled. The trial group involved diagnoses of caries on panoramic radiographs using an artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system, while the control group involved diagnoses made by dental practitioners specializing in operative dentistry and endodontics with five years of experience, who interpreted oral panoramic radiographs to determine the presence and severity of caries.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control group | Dentist specializing in endodontics with over five years of experience independently reviewed the participants' oral panoramic radiographs in a random order. | ||
| Trial group | The diagnoses of caries on oral panoramic radiographs were made with the assistance of an artificial intelligence-aided oral panoramic diagnostic system. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of caries diagnosis | Sensitivity: Sensitivity assesses the diagnostic method's ability to identify the disease, that is, how many true cases of caries can be correctly identified among all actual cases of caries. Specificity: Specificity evaluates the diagnostic tool's ability to recognize the absence of disease, meaning how many true non-caries cases can be correctly identified among all actual non-caries cases. Accuracy: Accuracy evaluates the overall correctness of the diagnostic tool in diagnosing the disease. | Immediately after the completion of all participant information collection. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Miss rate and false positive rate of caries diagnosis | Miss rate (False Negative Rate): The miss rate refers to the proportion of true caries cases that the diagnostic method fails to correctly identify among all actual cases of caries. In this study, the effectiveness of the artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system is evaluated by comparing the miss rate of caries diagnosis between the artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system and dentists with five years of experience. False positive rate: The false positive rate refers to the proportion of cases that are incorrectly identified as having caries among all actual non-caries cases. In this study, the effectiveness of the artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system is evaluated by comparing the false positive rate of caries diagnosis between the artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system and dentists with five years of experience. |

| Accuracy of Caries Severity Level Diagnosis | This study utilizes the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) to evaluate the grading of caries severity, categorizing caries severity into five levels: E0, E1, E2, D1, and D2. Wherein: E0 indicates no apparent signs of caries; E1 represents early caries, primarily initial enamel lesions; E2 designates enamel caries without involvement of the dentin; D1 denotes superficial dentin caries, not reaching half of the dentin thickness; D2 signifies deep dentin caries, reaching or exceeding half of the dentin thickness. This study will assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy at each grading level between the trial group and the control group. | Immediately after the completion of all participant information collection. |
