Enhancing dental clinical education through AI: insights into post-clinical summaries

Participants generally perceived AI as a helpful adjunct for reinforcing clinical knowledge, supporting diagnostic reasoning, and facilitating communication. Perceived benefits for professionalism, ethics, and responsibility were less clear. Because this study used self-reported perceptions from a single setting, without qualitative data or inferential statistics, the findings should be interpreted as exploratory. Future work should include qualitative interviews, objective performance measures, and longitudinal follow-up to determine whether AI-supported post-clinical summaries translate into measurable educational outcomes.
