An AI-driven robotics system, dubbed a ‘robot dentist’, has completed its first fully-automated dental procedure on a human.
Designed by Perceptive, the robotics system aims to complete restorative procedures ‘an order of magnitude faster and more accurately than any human’.
The technology combines both AI-driven 3D imaging software and a robotic arm for performing dental procedures. In addition, it is said to operate ‘even in the most movement-heavy conditions’ with ‘unparalleled speed and precision’.
“We’re excited to successfully complete the world’s first fully automated robotic dental procedure. This medical breakthrough enhances precision and efficiency of dental procedures, and democratises access to better dental care, for improved patient experience and clinical outcomes.” - Dr Chris Ciriello - CEO and founder of Perceptive.
