Could AI chatbots help train future dentists?
NCT ID NCT07682116
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether feedback from an artificial intelligence chatbot can be as effective as feedback from a human instructor for dental students learning restorative procedures on simulated teeth. Third-year dental students receive either AI or human feedback during training, and researchers compare their practical performance, anxiety levels, and opinions. The goal is to see if AI can serve as a useful educational tool in preclinical dentistry.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Artificial intelligence-generated feedback
What this could lead to
If effective, AI feedback could become a scalable, low-cost tool to support dental students' skill development, reducing instructor workload.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with 140 participants. AI feedback may not match the nuance of human instruction, and results may not generalize to other settings.
