Prospects of ChatGPT in orthodontic education and clinical practice / 口腔疾病防治

ABSTRACT

@#In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI), such as image recognition and fixed-point and digital scanning, has been increasingly applied in dental orthodontics. ChatGPT is an emerging artificial intelligence technology that has attracted a considerable amount of attention from people of all walks of life since its introduction. This paper discusses the application potential of ChatGPT in the field of orthodontics from two perspectives—education and clinical practice—and analyzes its limitations. Current reports show that ChatGPT can improve the efficiency of teaching in orthodontic education as well as assist users in completing medical mock exams training, writing papers and conducting academic research, etc. In the clinic, ChatGPT can be used to engage patients in medical dialog, simplify clinical procedures and improve diagnostic and treatment efficiency. However, because ChatGPT is still in the early stages of research and application, there are problems such as insufficient data, inaccurate answers, and poor academic ethics and privacy. In the future, additional studies, training and optimization are needed to ensure the safety, ethics and benefit of AI, laying the foundation for improving the use of AI in the field of orthodontics.
