Dental Robotics: A Disruptive Technology

January 27, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Robotics is gradually taking over the diagnostics and treatment procedures in dental medicine.

Over the years, various techniques have been employed to solve dental problems effectively, and they have all contributed to advancing the practice at various levels.

Now, robotics is becoming the most sought-after solution in the world of dental medicine. This is many thanks to the various advantages and opportunities it offers experts in the industry.

Robots can carry out repeated procedures for as long as required, improving the overall quality and quantity of patient care.

The robots that pioneered this movement required human operators; however, robotic systems have advanced significantly over the past decade. These new generation robots can perform patient intervention functions and monitoring functions without aid.

This means that experts can now carry out dental procedures with little or no human input and with the same or even better results. This article is set to discuss the concept of dental robotics and how it will impact the dental health care industry. Read on for more exciting information.

What are Robots?

Robots are machines designed to perform tasks programmed by a computer. Advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics have automated more tasks and performed tedious jobs.

Robots over the years have been programmed to assist in industrial production processes, and they have become an essential part of daily life.

According to Huntington dentist, Dr Gutterson, Robots are relevant to the individual, professional and economical service, considering that they are intelligent assistants in work areas.

The demand for improving the efficiency and quantity in health care is high, and there is a need to maintain the standard of procedures.

Dentistry has provided an array of opportunities for assistive technology and robotics to improve the quality of dental care methods.

Robots will help limit the functions of human resources to other areas that require high cognitive skills, such as interacting with patients.

Dental Robotics

Robots are used more extensively in medicine than in dentistry. Dentistry uses some manual robotic automation controlled through the computer’s control interface. These manual robots are capable of safer and more precise drilling than regular dentistry.

There has also been advancement in autonomous robots specializing in implant dentistry. However, dentists don’t have access to these yet. Considering how high the acquisition costs are and the innate set-up of the robotic hardware, several considerations must be made before their availability.

Here are some of the ways they use of robots has been employed in dentistry:

  • Dental Implantology

The positioning of the implant determines the result of any dental implant procedure. If it is precise, the outcome will prove it, and if it is not, the outcome will be horrendous.

To limit errors in implant placement, dentists use navigation systems and guidance of surgical templates to carry out the procedures.

However, some limitations beyond their control, such as the missing tooth site, may affect the procedure and even cause operator fatigue and errors. The intervention of robot-assisted implant procedures has helped improve implant placement stability, flexibility, and accuracy.

  • Prosthetic and Restorative Dentistry

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), about 113 million American adults have at least one tooth missing, and around 19 million do not have any teeth.

Typically, after losing natural teeth, the vocal functions and masticatory are affected, considering that there has been an alteration in craniofacial morphology.

A procedure referred to as prosthodontics is immediately required to recover the craniofacial morphology and the functionality of edentulous patients.

Robots in prosthetic dentistry can develop dentures, both partial and complete. The experience of skilled dental technicians and dentists is incorporated into a prosthetic dental surgery; then robots execute the fabrication of the dentures.

  • Tooth Preparation

The procedure clinicians use for preparing the crown and bridge is routine, but even after years of experience, it is still a challenging process.

The most strenuous aspect is reducing the teeth sufficiently to create space while ensuring that the healthy tooth substances are protected. The concept of tooth preparation robotics will help clinicians achieve 53 percent more accuracy and efficiency in their routine.

More Precise and Faster Results

Dental robotics is what the dental world needs now, considering that dental procedures have become innovative and more efficient.

Indeed, the entire world will feel the impact as more people will experience better dental experiences, and experts in the dental health care industry will achieve more precise and faster results.

Moreover, the technology is set to improve dental practice in various ways. This article has discussed some of those impacts and how they might apply to you.
