Robot dentist performs world's first fully automated procedure
The initial treatment — which took place in Barranquilla, Colombia — shows the bot independently drilling into and shaving down a person’s tooth, a process called “cutting,”
The technology works by scanning images beneath a patient’s gumline and then using AI for analysis before the robotic arms are put into action. “The robotics system has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure that dentists can perform treatments safely, even in conditions where patient movement is prevalent,” said Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder’s father who made a name for himself in the field.German Galluicci, who chairs Restorative Dentistry at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, also bragged about the numbers behind the new, high-tech approach — a 90% accuracy rate compared to conventional X-rays of 40%.
