AI could write dental X-Ray reports, study explores
NCT ID NCT07676318
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether large language models (a type of AI) can turn structured dental X-ray data into clear, narrative reports. Researchers will compare AI-generated reports with traditional ones, checking for accuracy, completeness, and safety. The goal is to see if this technology could make dental reporting faster and more consistent.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- large language model-assisted radiology report generation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could streamline dental radiology reporting, saving time and reducing variability in report wording.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with 100 records; the model may produce errors or lack clinical nuance, and it is not intended for direct patient care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will consist of dental radiology records from patients admitted to the radiology department in Kielce, a city in southern Poland with approximately 200,000 inhabitants. Eligible records will include dental X-ray examinations performed on the basis of a written referral from a dentist or physician, including examinations performed for screening, diagnostic, or treatment-planning purposes. The study will include records from patients with permanent dentition after completion of exfoliation, provided that structured dental radiology data are available for transformation into narrative radiology reports.

Inclusion Criteria: * Dental radiology records based on dental X-ray examination performed on the basis of a written referral from a dentist or physician * Dental X-ray examinations performed for screening, diagnostic, or treatment-planning purposes * Records from patients with permanent dentition after completion of exfoliation Exclusion Criteria: * Records from patients with mixed dentition before completion of exfoliation * Records with incomplete, ambiguous, or internally inconsistent structured dental radiology data preventing reliable report generation * Records with missing information required for evaluation of the generated report * Duplicate records from the same radiographic examination * Records in which anonymization or pseudonymization cannot be ensured
