The new technology uses an advanced 3D scanner to create an accurate model of the patient's oral cavity, which avoids the use of X-rays. This not only speeds up the process, but also reduces the risks to the patient's health. This is reported by snob.ru with a link to New Atlas.
The robotic dentist demonstrated impressive efficiency: preparing the tooth for the installation of the crown took only 15 minutes, while a human dentist usually takes about two hours. The developers also note that the device is able to adapt to the movements of the patient, ensuring the safety of the procedure.
Perceptive CEO Chris Siriello is confident that their invention will improve the quality and accessibility of dental services. However, it is worth noting that the robot has not yet received official approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The company plans to expand the robot's capabilities and introduce new types of dental procedures. All human trials conducted so far have shown positive results.
