Why it matters for dental
Dental schools and educators can track a systematic review that synthesizes evidence on AI use in dental education, noting that integration should stay pedagogically guided and ethically supervised until standardized longitudinal studies establish effectiveness.
Key points
- A systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and searched Scopus, PubMed, and IEEE Xplore for studies from 2020 to 2025 on AI applications in dental education.
- Earlier studies focused on machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision for diagnostic support; recent studies examine generative AI platforms, large language models, and retrieval-augmented generation systems.
- Educational outcomes assessed include knowledge acquisition, diagnostic accuracy, clinical reasoning, procedural skills, learner engagement, and perceptions of AI-assisted learning.
- The review concludes that AI shows potential as a complementary educational resource, but heterogeneous methodologies and limited longitudinal evidence require standardized evaluation and responsible curricular integration.
