Evidence-based potential of generative artificial intelligence large language models in orthodontics: a comparative study of ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft Bing
Conclusions:
Language models (LLMs) show great potential in supporting
evidence-based orthodontics. However, their current limitations pose a
potential risk of making incorrect healthcare decisions if utilized
without careful consideration. Consequently, these tools cannot serve as
a substitute for the orthodontist ' s essential critical thinking and
comprehensive subject knowledge. For effective integration into
practice, further research, clinical validation, and enhancements to the
models are essential. Clinicians must be mindful of the limitations of
LLMs, as their imprudent utilization could have advers...

Impact of repeated preheating of bulk-fill resin composite on postoperative hypersensitivity; a randomized controlled clinical trial
ConclusionThe
repeated preheating cycles of bulk-fill resin composite prior to curing

the same resin composite syringe can undergo numerous preheating cycles
clinically before it is completely consumed with the advantage of
improvement on the handling properties. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
