摘要

Background

With the growing capabilities of language models like ChatGPT to process text and images, this study evaluated their accuracy in detecting supernumerary teeth on periapical radiographs. A customized GPT-4V model (CGPT-4V) was also developed to assess whether domain-specific training could improve diagnostic performance compared to standard GPT-4V and GPT-4o models.

Methods

One hundred eighty periapical radiographs (90 with and 90 without supernumerary teeth) were evaluated using GPT-4 V, GPT-4o, and a fine-tuned CGPT-4V model. Each image was assessed separately with the standardized prompt “Are there any supernumerary teeth in the radiograph above?” to avoid contextual bias. Three dental experts scored the responses using a three-point Likert scale for positive cases and a binary scale for negatives. Chi-square tests and ROC analysis were used to compare model performances (p < 0.05).

Results

Among the three models, CGPT-4 V exhibited the highest accuracy, detecting supernumerary teeth correctly in 91% of cases, compared to 77% for GPT-4o and 63% for GPT-4V. The CGPT-4V model also demonstrated a significantly lower false positive rate (16%) than GPT-4V (42%). A statistically significant difference was found between CGPT-4V and GPT-4o (p < 0.001), while no significant difference was observed between GPT-4V and CGPT-4V or between GPT-4V and GPT-4o. Additionally, CGPT-4V successfully identified multiple supernumerary teeth in radiographs where present.

Conclusions

These findings highlight the diagnostic potential of customized GPT models in dental radiology. Future research should focus on multicenter validation, seamless clinical integration, and cost-effectiveness to support real-world implementation.
