Assessing the Diagnostic Performance of ChatGPT-5.0 versus Machine Learning in Orthodontics: A Comparative Analysis for Extraction Treatment Planning
To make accurate orthodontic extraction decisions, various clinical and cephalometric variables must be evaluated. This study aims to evaluate ChatGPT-5.0's performance in distinguishing orthodontic extraction decisions and to compare it with five supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms. Of 550 retrospectively evaluated orthodontic records, 30 were reserved for calibration, leaving 520 for the main analysis. The reference standard was the consensus treatment decision of three expert orthodontists with more t…
ChatGPT-5.0 achieved 75.77% accuracy and the highest sensitivity at 76.68% for orthodontic extraction decisions, performing comparably to XGBoost and significantly better than random forest, SVM, logistic regression and MLP.
ChatGPT-5.0 did not achieve the highest overall classification accuracy and had lower specificity than XGBoost, indicating it missed the top performance for correctly identifying non-extraction cases.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0689 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
