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.
