Robotics in Dentistry: The Next Generation Technology

November 3, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Robots are now utilized in every field of research thanks to technological breakthroughs; they have even found their way into dentistry due to the capacity for precision work without being fatigued. Hamilton dentist Dr. Moninder Tuli, chatted with us and provided us with information about the usage of robotics in dentistry.

The use of robots in dentistry is quite astounding. It can be debated that one of the most astonishing creations of modern civilization is the robot, a tool that can imitate living things. Robots shorten the time it takes to perform a task, increase production, and decrease human error.

Robotics is a revolutionary technology that will alter dental medicine’s diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Robots can do repetitive tasks for an endless amount of time while improving the overall level and scope of medical care.

The most recent medical robots can conduct clinical intervention or remote patient monitoring independently since robotic systems have evolved dramatically over the previous ten years. [Read more…] about Robotics in Dentistry: The Next Generation Technology

Medical Microinstruments introduces even smaller robotic instruments for complex ‘supermicrosurgery’

October 9, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Medical Microinstruments, a robotics company developing devices for microsurgery, has launched its new Supermicro NanoWrist instruments for use with the Symani Surgical System, developed specifically to address the challenges of microsurgery.

The new supermicro needle holder and dilator were recently used in clinical procedures in Zürich, Florence, and Salzburg, with successful patient outcomes.

Simon Enzinger, MD, DDS, surgeon at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University Hospital Salzburg, used the new instruments on a procedure called a partial glossectomy, where he raised a lateral arm free flap to replace a large section of a patient’s tongue which required removal due to cancer.

Coverage, Exclusions and Benefits of Mediclaim Policy for Family

September 13, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

A sort of insurance coverage known as mediclaim insurance is created expressly to pay for the policyholder’s medical costs. The insurer reimburses your expenses when medical bills are reported to the insurance company under a mediclaim policy.

Mediclaim plans additionally provide cashless treatment insurance in the event that a person lacks the financial means to pay for medical expenses. The policyholder of a cashless treatment plan need not worry about bill payments because the insurance provider would cover the hospital expenses immediately.

But your family’s safety and well-being are equally crucial to you. A mediclaim policy for family protects every member of your family from unforeseen medical expenses and gives them access to top-notch medical care in the event of a medical emergency.
