Abstract

Background: Differentiating between primary and permanent teeth is a critical component of oral health knowledge, influencing both preventive care and clinical decisions. With the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and education, its role in supporting learning is of increasing interest.

Aim: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and internal consistency of ChatGPT-4.5 in classifying primary versus permanent teeth using intraoral photographs, compared to senior dental students and parents.

Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 130 participants (65 senior dental students and 65 parents). ChatGPT-4.5 was also evaluated. An online survey with 16 intraoral images showing multiple teeth was used. Participants classified each tooth as either primary or permanent. Responses were reviewed by two pediatric dentistry experts. Accuracy was analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test (p < 0.05). Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.

Results: ChatGPT-4.5 (82.9%) and dental students (82.1%) showed similar accuracy, while parents performed significantly lower (74.8%). A significant difference was found in posterior tooth classification (p = 0.009), favoring students. ChatGPT demonstrated good consistency (α = 0.74).

Conclusion: ChatGPT may be a useful tool in dental education and parental guidance, especially when professional access is limited.

ChatGPT-4.5能准确识别牙齿吗?牙科学生与家长的横断面比较。
背景:区分乳牙和恒牙是口腔健康知识的重要组成部分,影响预防保健和临床决策。随着人工智能(AI)在医疗保健和教育领域的应用越来越多,它在支持学习方面的作用越来越受到关注。目的:本研究评估ChatGPT-4.5在使用口腔内照片对乳牙和恒牙进行分类的诊断准确性和内部一致性,并与高年级牙科学生和家长进行比较。方法:采用比较横断面研究方法,对130名老年牙科学生(65名)和65名家长(65名)进行研究。ChatGPT-4.5也进行了评估。使用了一项包含16张显示多颗牙齿的口腔内图像的在线调查。参与者将每颗牙齿分为乳牙和恒牙。回复由两名儿科牙科专家审查。采用方差分析和Tukey’s HSD检验(p)对准确性进行分析。结果:ChatGPT-4.5(82.9%)和牙科学生(82.1%)的准确性相似,而家长的准确性明显较低(74.8%)。后牙分类差异有统计学意义(p = 0.009),有利于学生。ChatGPT具有良好的一致性(α = 0.74)。结论:ChatGPT可能是牙科教育和家长指导的有用工具,特别是在专业人员访问有限的情况下。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide. International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
