Artificial intelligence-based chatbot assistance in clinical decision-making for medically complex patients in oral surgery: a comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aims to evaluate the potential of AI-based chatbots in assisting with clinical decision-making in the management of medically complex patients in oral surgery.

Materials and methods

The questions, which focused on systemic diseases and common conditions that may raise concerns during oral surgery, were presented to ChatGPT 3.5 and Claude-instant in two separate sessions, spaced one week apart. Two experienced maxillofacial surgeons, blinded to the chatbots, assessed the responses for quality, accuracy, and completeness using a modified DISCERN tool and Likert scale.
