Objectives: With the rapid advancement of technology, professionals and students in the field of dentistry are increasingly turning to innovative tools to enhance their research capabilities. One such groundbreaking tool that has emerged on the horizon is ChatGPT by OpenAI. This article evaluates the knowledge, attitude and practice of ChatGPT in dental research among the dental students and dental professionals in Belagavi, India.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional type study 340 people were included in the sample size, which was estimated based on the results of the pilot study. Face validity of 83% as well as content validity ratio of 0.75 were used to evaluate the questionnaire's reliability, which consisted of 12 closed-ended questions.
Statistical Analysis: Data analysis is done using descriptive analysis, analysis of variance test, chi-square test, multiple linear regression as well as Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Results: Postgraduates showed highest mean knowledge, practice and attitude score followed by Academician and undergraduates and dental practitioner. Results concluded statistically significant difference in knowledge, attitude and practice in four groups. (p < 0>
Conclusions: Study revealed that postgraduates and academicians are more knowledgeable than undergraduates. While many see ChatGPT's potential to improve research, some lack familiarity with it. This gap indicates a need for targeted educational programs to promote AI literacy. Dental institutions should incorporate AI-focused training to equip students and professionals. Further research should also address AI applications in dental research needs.
