Can Artificial Intelligence Match Human Expertise in Long-Term Periodontal Prognosis? A Comparative Accuracy Study.

Clinicians achieved higher accuracy with a standard threshold, but AI performed comparably to dentists when using optimised thresholds, though all groups showed limited predictive ability.
