LONDON, Canada: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry is rapidly expanding, offering new possibilities in diagnostics, treatment planning and patient communication. However, its integration into dental education—particularly in areas requiring ethical and legal sensitivity, such as informed consent—remains underexplored. A recent study addressed this gap by introducing an educational exercise in which third-year dental students compared ChatGPT-generated consent forms with professionally validated examples. The findings underscored the value of guided and critical engagement with AI tools to prepare students for their responsible and effective use in clinical practice.
