Digital and artificial intelligence-assisted cephalometric training effectively enhanced students' landmarking accuracy in preclinical orthodontic education.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital cephalometric analyses, including those assisted by artificial intelligence (AI), are widely used in clinical practice. Similarly, computer-assisted learning has demonstrated teaching outcomes comparable to those of traditional methods in orthodontic education. However, the potential application of digital and AI-assisted cephalometric training in the preclinical education of orthodontic students remains unexplored. Cephalometric analysis is a fundamental skill for orthodontic students and practitioners. Therefore, this study aimed to integrate digital and AI-assisted cephalometric training into preclinical orthodontic education and evaluate its educational effectiveness.

Methods

Forty undergraduate students were grouped into pairs to use digital cephalome
