aceEffects of Generative AI-Supported Virtual Reality Dental Skill Training on Learning Performance, Visual Behavior, and Cortical Activation Among Dental Students: Stratified Randomized Controlled Trial
Background The rapid advancement of AI, particularly generative AI (GenAI), is reshaping educational paradigms. However, its utility in preclinical digital medical skills education remains insufficiently explored. Objective This study aims to investigate whether GenAI‑assisted training yields superior performance relative to traditional instruction in virtual reality (VR)-supported preclinical dental skill education. Methods A total of 123 eligible students from a top‑tier Chinese university completed the trial.…
Dental students randomized to ChatGPT-guided VR skill training scored higher on an immediate operative skills test than students taught by an on-site instructor.
The authors describe the operative advantage as immediate and the secondary cognitive, behavioral, and neurophysiological findings as exploratory, so the results are preliminary and do not establish lasting or clinical benefit.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1444 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.
