The Ethical Boundaries of Chairside Generative Artificial Intelligence in Dental Education.
Article in Journal of dental education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In dental school clinics, students are increasingly using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT during patient care. This chairside, or point of care, use raises ethical concerns, particularly around supervision, patient safety, and training quality. This paper argues that GenAI can be ethically used in dental education if implemented with transparency, structured oversight, and robust ethics training. Using a utilitarian framework, the paper explores how GenAI can maximize benefits, such as consistency and efficiency, while minimizing harm when used appropriately. It emphasizes that faculty must guide students in GenAI use, and that patients should have the opportunity to provide informed consent when GenAI influences care. Responsibly incorporating GenAI in dental school clinics should prepare students to become competent, ethical clinicians in a technology-integrated healthcare system.
