Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer: The Present scenario in dentistry and what lies beyond

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Dentistry is presently witnessing a digital expansion, driven by continuous technological progress and the amalgamation of artificial intelligence (AI). Human–AI alliance is attesting to be a treasured resource in dentistry, with tools such as Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT) delivering innovative natural language skills into practice. This article aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of ChatGPT’s potential applications in the dental field, critically examine its accuracy, ethical and privacy concerns, and offer recommendations for practitioners, educators and researchers. Method: A literature review was performed using databases such as PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE, employing keywords such as “ChatGPT in dentistry” and “Large, Language Models”. Discussion: For dental students and practitioners, ChatGPT can be a powerful educational and case-guidance tool offering fast access to information and improved understanding. However, its usefulness is limited by potential inaccuracies, hallucinations, and biases that could affect clinical decisions, as well as concerns around data privacy and lack of full contextual awareness, making human oversight critical. Conclusion: Conversational AI isn’t going anywhere — in fact, it stands to become even more powerful through further training and optimization. Overlooking its potential in health care would be irrational, given its ability to drive substantial improvements in the field.
