Robotic Dental Surgery: AI-Powered Precision for Improved Efficiency
A recent breakthrough in dental technology has been witnessed in Boston, where a dental hospital successfully tested robotic dental surgery using AI technology. This groundbreaking procedure has been captured on video and has gone viral on social media.
AI-Powered Precision and Speed
The robotic surgery was performed using a robot controlled by artificial intelligence, developed by the startup company Perceptive. This autonomous robot can perform dental procedures eight times faster than a human dentist. The entire surgery, which previously took two hours, can now be completed in just 15 minutes.
Advanced Technology for Enhanced Safety and Accuracy
The robotic system utilizes advanced technology to ensure precision and safety during the procedure. A hand-held 3D scanner creates a detailed 3D model of the mouth, including teeth, gums, and nerves. Optical tomography (OCT) technology eliminates the need for harmful X-rays, utilizing light rays to construct volumetric models and detect cavities with an accuracy rate of 90%.
Human-Robot Collaboration
While the robot performs the surgery, the human dentist and patient can discuss treatment options and decisions before the procedure begins. Once the decisions are made, the robot takes over, planning and executing the surgery with precision and efficiency.
Future Potential and Accessibility
The robotic dental surgery robot has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but its public release date has not been announced. It is likely to take some time before this innovative technology becomes widely accessible.
