Use of Chat GPT in Dental Research

Abstract

 This review explores the transformative role of Chat GPT, a state-of-the-art language model, in the realm of dental research. Developed by Open AI, ChatGPT exhibits a pre-trained, transformer-based architecture that excels in understanding and generating human-like text. Within dental research, its applications extend across key domains. The review first delves into the acceleration of literature reviews facilitated by ChatGPT. By efficiently summarizing vast amounts of textual data, the model expedites the review process, distilling crucial information from dental articles, journals, and clinical notes. It also contributes to systematic reviews by automating the identification of relevant studies, saving researchers’ valuable time. However, the review acknowledges certain limitations, such as the model's potential challenges in comprehending highly specialized aspects of dentistry. Ethical considerations, including bias in training data and responsible AI use, are also emphasized, urging researchers to exercise caution. In conclusion, the integration of Chat GPT in dental research signifies a paradigm shift, offering efficiency gains and transformative possibilities. The collaborative synergy between AI and human expertise holds promise for reshaping the landscape of dental research, fostering innovation, and advancing our understanding of oral health.
