This study evaluated the accuracy and reliability of four popular publicly available LLM models-ChatGPT 4.0, ChatGPT 4o, Google Gemini, and Microsoft CoPilot-in answering orthodontic questions from the National Board of Dental Examiners examinations. Each model was tested across three trials to assess response consistency. Reliability was analyzed using Cohen's and Fleiss' Kappa. Among the four tested models, Microsoft CoPilot demonstrated the highest reliability, while ChatGPT-4.0 had the highest accuracy. Variability across trials suggests that AI-generated responses remain inconsistent. The variable responses generated over time by LLMs limit their standalone applicability in orthodontic education. Older models at times outperformed newer models. AI model updates do not necessarily lead to improved reliability. Although AI models may show potential as supplementary study aids, their accuracy and stability require further refinement before being deployed in educational contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144719050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Artistic expression, through activities like theater and music, enhances these competencies. A private dentistry institution in Peru incorporated an \"artistic expression\" elective course to strengthen communication, critical thinking, and leadership in dental students. This study evaluates the course's effectiveness in developing SS, aiming to support art-based strategies in dental education and promote well-rounded professional training for improved patient care and interdisciplinary collaboration.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>An analytical, longitudinal, pre-experimental design was used, where the impact of the course was measured through a pre-test and post-test. The post-test was administered immediately after the 16-week course concluded. The questionnaire was validated through expert judgment, and a pilot test was conducted to ensure its reliability. The McNemar non-parametric test was used in the study, and significance was obtained through a Spearman correlation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results showed a significant increase in positive responses between the pre-test and post-test, with significant differences in three items (11, 14, and 30): students indicated that they were able to manage conflicts, lead activities or projects, and remind peers of established times (p > 0.05). Additionally, a significant difference was observed in the intergroup analysis, with a tendency toward a high level in the post-test (pre-test: 28.67 ± 3.51 vs. post-test: 30.03 ± 2.50; rho = 0.68), but without significant intragroup changes by application level, as well as in the dimensions of communication skills, leadership skills, and initiative, showing a moderate effect (p > 0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings suggest that the \"Artistic Expression\" course effectively contributes to the development of SS in future health professionals, which is crucial for their performance in the job market.</p>","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":"e13990"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
