| Summary: | <b>Background/Objectives</b>: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT has developed rapidly in recent years, and in the medical field, its usefulness for diagnostic assistance has been reported. However, there are few reports of AI use in dental fields. <b>Methods</b>: We created 20 questions that we had encountered in clinical pediatric dentistry, and collected the responses to these questions from three types of generative AI. The responses were evaluated on a 5-point scale by six pediatric dental specialists using the Global Quality Scale. <b>Results</b>: The average scores were >3 for the three types of generated AI tools that we tested; the overall average was 3.34. Although the responses for questions related to “consultations from guardians” or “systemic diseases” had high scores (>3.5), the score for questions related to “dental abnormalities” was 2.99, which was the lowest among the four categories. <b>Conclusions</b>: Our results show the usefulness of generative AI tools in clinical pediatric dentistry, indicating that these tools will be useful assistants in the dental field. |
