A Boston-based company, Perceptive, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by completing the first fully automated dental procedure using advanced AI-guided robotic technology.
The dental robot, which has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is designed to perform tasks like crown replacements with remarkable speed and accuracy.
Using AI and 3D imaging software, the robot can guide a robotic arm to complete procedures that would typically take two office visits in just 15 minutes.
One of the robot’s key features is its ability to use 3D volumetric data and conduct an optical coherence technology (OCT) scan of a patient’s mouth.
This allows it to capture highly detailed 3D images, even below the gum line, helping to plan and execute treatments with precision.
Patients benefit from this technology by being able to see the 3D images of their mouths, which helps them better understand their treatment needs.
The AI algorithms analyze this data, enabling the robotic arm to perform dental procedures automatically, improving efficiency and reducing the chances of human error.
This innovation is set to revolutionize dentistry, allowing dentists to treat more patients with higher-quality care in less time.
By reducing manual labor and minimizing mistakes, this technology could significantly impact the way dental care is provided.
