Abstract

The objective of this narrative review is to explore the role of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) in dental education, highlighting its emerging applications, potential benefits and implementation challenges. Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, genAI tools have gained traction in academic and clinical settings, enabling content generation, translation, summarisation, exam preparation and basic clinical planning. This review presents a series of illustrative use cases demonstrating how genAI has been integrated into teaching, research and clinical workflows in dental and orthodontic training. Each example underscores how AI can support faculty in course design, assist students with learning complex concepts and provide real time feedback for exam analysis and academic writing. However, the implementation of genAI is not without limitations. The review addresses common concerns, including misinformation, data privacy, fabricated references and ethical use in clinical contexts. Although the benefits of genAI are promising, this review emphasises the importance of human oversight and institutional policies to guide ethical and effective use. In conclusion, genAI offers valuable support in dental education when used responsibly. Continued dialogue among educators, students and policymakers is essential to ensure that AI tools are integrated thoughtfully and equitably into academic practice.

在教学、学术和牙科教育中利用生成式人工智能：用例和思考。

本文的目的是探讨生成式人工智能（genAI）在牙科教育中的作用，重点介绍其新兴应用、潜在效益和实施挑战。自2022年ChatGPT推出以来，基因人工智能工具在学术和临床环境中获得了广泛的应用，支持内容生成、翻译、摘要、考试准备和基本临床计划。这篇综述提出了一系列说导性用例，展示了genAI如何被整合到牙科和正畸训练的教学、研究和临床工作流程中。每个例子都强调了人工智能如何支持教师进行课程设计，帮助学生学习复杂的概念，并为考试分析和学术写作提供实时反馈。然而，基因人工智能的实施并非没有限制。该审查解决了常见的问题，包括错误信息、数据隐私、捏造参考文献和临床环境中的伦理使用。尽管基因改造的好处是有希望的，但这篇综述强调了人类监督和制度政策对指导伦理和有效使用的重要性。总之，如果负责任地使用genAI，可以为牙科教育提供宝贵的支持。教育工作者、学生和政策制定者之间的持续对话对于确保人工智能工具深思熟虑、公平地融入学术实践至关重要。

期刊介绍： Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions. The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements. The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
