Abstrakt: Objectives: The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language model (LLM)-based AI applications (LLMAs) has tremendous implications for our society. This study analyzed the performance of LLMAs on solving restorative dentistry and endodontics (RDE) student assessment questions.
Materials and Methods: 151 questions from a RDE question pool were prepared for prompting using LLMAs from OpenAI (ChatGPT-3.5,-4.0 and -4.0o) and Google (Gemini 1.0). Multiple-choice questions were sorted into four question subcategories, entered into LLMAs and answers recorded for analysis. P-value and chi-square statistical analyses were performed using Python 3.9.16.
Results: The total answer accuracy of ChatGPT-4.0o was the highest, followed by ChatGPT-4.0, Gemini 1.0 and ChatGPT-3.5 (72%, 62%, 44% and 25%, respectively) with significant differences between all LLMAs except GPT-4.0 models. The performance on subcategories direct restorations and caries was the highest, followed by indirect restorations and endodontics.
Conclusions: Overall, there are large performance differences among LLMAs. Only the ChatGPT-4 models achieved a success ratio that could be used with caution to support the dental academic curriculum.
Clinical Relevance: While LLMAs could support clinicians to answer dental field-related questions, this capacity depends strongly on the employed model. The most performant model ChatGPT-4.0o achieved acceptable accuracy rates in some subject sub-categories analyzed.
