Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Clinical procedural skills training is a cornerstone of preclinical education for dental students. While technological aids such as virtual reality and simulators are increasingly integrated into training, direct instructor guidance remains fundamental to skill development. Artificial intelligence(AI), as an emerging technology, is now gradually being adopted in medical education. This medical education trial, aimed at evaluating the potential of artificial intelligence in dental education, seeks to address two key questions: 1) Can AI assistance enhance the skill performance of dental students? 2) How can AI be effectively integrated into modern medical education? Researchers will compare the effects of AI and video-based instruction on skill acquisition, assessing differences in skill performance outcomes. Participants will engage in skill acquisition using either AI or video-based instruction over a one-week period.

Artificial intelligence-assisted learning group

After completing theoretical knowledge learning, students can use artificial intelligence for skills learning. AI provides steps for specific skill operations, points to note, as well as the desired performance and potential consequences of the operations.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* They must have completed courses in endodontics, periodontology, prosthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery; participants should have little to no prior training in the skills related to the experiment; and they must voluntarily agree to participate in the study and sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

* Participants will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria: failure in final exams of the four courses (endodontics, periodontology, prosthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery); transfer to another major, suspension, or withdrawal from the current academic year; refusal to join the study or withdrawal midway; failure to meet the calibration standards in the 9-point eye-tracking calibration; use of OpenAI-related software or applications in the control group; or failure to complete the skill test.
