AI Robot Dentist Performs First Fully Automated Procedure
Supraja
The AI-powered robot, developed by Perceptive, successfully performed the world's first fully automated dental procedure, marking a significant milestone in dental technology.
The procedure utilized robotic arms, 3D imaging, and artificial intelligence to perform precise dental work, including drilling and shaving down a tooth.
The AI robot can complete procedures, such as crown placements, in just 15 minutes, compared to the current method requiring multiple hour-long visits.
The robot uses a hand-held 3D volumetric scanner to create detailed models of the mouth, enabling highly accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
While the technology is still a work in progress and not yet approved by the FDA, it promises to transform dentistry by making procedures faster, more accurate, and less invasive.
