Assessment of Knowledge and Perception Regarding ChatGPT Usage in Dental Students from North India

Abstract

Objectives Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) has numerous applications and has recently been tested in medical and dental sciences. The study was designed to assess knowledge and perception related to ChatGPT among dental students. Material and Methods A closed-ended questionnaire consisting of a binary scale (yes and no) was used to evaluate knowledge and perception related to ChatGPT. Descriptive statistics were computed, and inferential statistics were computed using the Chi-square test to gauge the association of responses with gender. Results Around 82.2% of students possessed knowledge of ChatGPT, and 89.3% of students expressed willingness to be trained for the use of ChatGPT. Nonetheless, 52% did not consider that ChatGPT misleads the dental community. Two-thirds subjects thought ChatGPT was functional in identifying periapical lesions, dental caries, and assisting in the prevention of dental diseases. Around 83.6% thought that ChatGPT would assist in tele-dentistry, and two-thirds envisioned its use in implant dentistry. The subjects agreed that ChatGPT was able to simulate human intellect, and 67.6% were of the opinion that it was ethically applicable. Conclusion Therefore, students had sufficient knowledge regarding ChatGPT and expressed a desire to integrate ChatGPT into the dental profession.
