Clinical, Research, and Educational Applications of ChatGPT in Dentistry: A Narrative Review

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), specifically Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) technology, has revolutionized various fields, including medicine and dentistry. The AI model ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, mimics human language on a large scale, generating coherent and contextually appropriate responses. ChatGPT serves as an auxiliary resource for diagnosis and decision-making across various medical disciplines. This comprehensive narrative review aims to explore how ChatGPT can assist the dental sector, highlighting its potential to enhance various aspects of the discipline. This review includes a literature search on the application of ChatGPT in dentistry, with a focus on the differences between the free version, ChatGPT 3.5, and the more advanced subscription-based version, ChatGPT 4. Specifically, ChatGPT has proven to be effective in enhancing user interaction, providing fast and accurate information and improving the accessibility of knowledge. However, despite these advantages, several limitations are identified, including concerns regarding the accuracy of responses in complex scenarios, ethical considerations surrounding its use, and the need for improved training to handle highly specialized queries. In conclusion, while ChatGPT offers numerous benefits in terms of efficiency and scalability, further research and development are needed to address these limitations, particularly in areas requiring greater precision, ethical oversight, and specialized expertise.
