This review synthesized student-based evidence on AI in endodontics, primarily comparing AI vs. students on diagnostic tasks as an educational endpoint and secondarily considering assessment tasks relevant to training.<h4>Methods</h4>PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched in July 2025. Eligible studies involved dental students using AI in endodontic tasks or applied AI to student-generated outputs. For diagnostic comparisons we performed random-effects meta-analysis and a complementary Bayesian random-effects model with weakly informative priors. Risk of bias used QUADAS-2; certainty used GRADE.<h4>Results</h4>Five studDentistry journal489https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12650973biostudies-literatureArtificial Intelligence in Endodontic Education: A Systematic Review with Frequentist and Bayesian Meta-Analysis of Student-Based Evidence.PMC12650973Pineda-Velez EVivares-Builes AMArdila CMfalseArtificial Intelligence in Endodontic Education: A Systematic Review with Frequentist and Bayesian Meta-Analysis of Student-Based Evidence.<h4>Background/objectives</h4>Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering dental curricula, yet its educational value in endodontics remains unclear.
