Evaluation of artificial intelligence robot’s knowledge and reliability on dental implants and peri-implant phenotype
摘要
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and quality of information generated by ChatGPT regarding dental implants and peri-implant phenotypes. A structured questionnaire on these topics was presented to the AI-based chatbot, and its responses were assessed by dental professionals using a modified Global Quality Scale (GQS) and the DISCERN tool. The study included 60 participants divided into three professional groups: oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontologists, and general dental practitioners. While no statistically significant differences were observed among the groups (p > 0.05), oral and maxillofacial surgeons consistently assigned lower DISCERN and GQS scores compared to other professionals. The findings of this study suggest that ChatGPT has the potential to serve as a supplementary tool for patient information in dental implant procedures. However, its responses may lack the depth and specificity required for clinical decision-making. Dental professionals should exercise caution when relying on artificial intelligence (AI) -generated content and guide patients in interpreting such information. Future research should explore the variability of AI responses, assess multiple chatbot platforms, and investigate their integration into dental clinical practice.
