ChatGPT在口腔正畸教育和临床中的应用前景

Prospects of ChatGPT in orthodontic education and clinical practice

人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)在口腔正畸临床中的应用逐渐增多,如影像识别、定点及数字化扫描等。ChatGPT是一种新兴的人工智能技术,自面市以来引起了社会各界的广泛关注。本文从教育和临床实践两个方面来探讨ChatGPT在口腔正畸领域的应用潜力,并分析其局限性。文献复习结果表明:ChatGPT在正畸教育领域能够提高教学效率、辅助完成医学模拟考试训练以及论文写作和学术研究等;在临床中能够进行医疗对话代理服务患者、简化临床流程并提高诊疗效率。但由于对ChatGPT的研究应用还处于较初级阶段,目前还存在数据量不足、回答问题精确度欠佳以及学术伦理和隐私等问题。未来,ChatGPT还需要进一步研究、训练和优化,确保其安全、道德和有益性,为人工智能更好地服务于口腔正畸领域奠定基础。

In recent years,artificial intelligence(AI),such as image recognition and fixed⁃point and digital scan⁃ning,has been increasingly applied in dental orthodontics.ChatGPT is an emerging artificial intelligence technology that has attracted a considerable amount of attention from people of all walks of life since its introduction.This paper discusses the application potential of ChatGPT in the field of orthodontics from two perspectives—education and clini⁃cal practice—and analyzes its limitations.Current reports show that ChatGPT can improve the efficiency of teaching in orthodontic education as well as assist users in completing medical mock exams training,writing papers and conducting academic research,etc.In the clinic,ChatGPT can be used to engage patients in medical dialog,simplify clinical proce⁃dures and improve diagnostic and treatment efficiency.However,because ChatGPT is still in the early stages of research and application,there are problems such as insufficient data,inaccurate answers,and poor academic ethics and privacy.In the future,additional studies,training and optimization are needed to ensure the safety,ethics and benefit of AI,lay⁃ing the foundation for improving the use of AI in the field of orthodontics.
