Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  AI-based diagnostic tool  study duration will be 06 months. Students in the intervention group will use an AI-based diagnostic tool. They will receive a brief tutorial on how to use the tool effectively. They will then diagnose a set of dental conditions using the AI tool, providing their analysis for each image or X-ray. A timer will track the time taken for each diagnosis. 
Comparator Agent  manual inspection and basic radiographic analysis  Total study duration will be 06 months. Students in the control group will use traditional methods (manual inspection and basic radiographic analysis) to diagnose the same set of cases. Like the intervention group, the time taken for each diagnosis will be recorded.

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

This procedure outlines how the study will be implemented, ensuring a controlled and standardized approach to evaluating the impact of AI diagnostic tools on dental undergraduates. The feedback from the students, combined with the comparison of diagnostic accuracy and time efficiency between AI and traditional methods, will provide valuable insights into the role of AI in dental education.
