·clinical-trialsA completed diagnostic study from Al-Azhar University has developed and evaluated an AI-based clinical image model for detecting and classifying anterior gingival recession using the Cairo classification system. The 149-participant study assessed the model's sensitivity and specificity against clinical probing measurements, with potential implications for standardising periodontal diagnosis in both specialist and primary care dental settings.
