DENTAL UPDATES
Perceptive AI-driven robotic system completes first fully automated dental procedure on a human Perceptive, a company in AI-driven automated dental technology, has announced the completion of what is said to be the world’s first fully automated dental procedure on a human using its advanced robotic dentistry system. This milestone reportedly marks a significant leap forward in dental care, integrating advanced imaging, AI, and robotics to set a new standard of care in dentistry, according to the company. The Perceptive dental robotics system integrates AI-driven 3D imaging software with a robotic arm designed to perform dental procedures, starting with restorative dentistry, with unparalleled speed and precision. The proprietary system aims to complete tasks such as crown placements in just 15mins, a major reduction from the current method that requires two office visits of at least one hour each. According to Perceptive, its AI robotics system uses 3D volumetric data for diagnostics and treatment planning, enabling early and highly accurate diagnoses. The procedure begins with an optical coherence technology (OCT) scan of the patient’s tooth and mouth using Perceptive’s handheld intraoral scanner. This advanced scanner captures 3D images beneath the gum line, through fluids and under the tooth surface, offering great imaging capabilities. Patients can clearly visualise their dental conditions through these detailed images, helping them better understand their need for care, according to the company. The system then uses Perceptive’s AI algorithms to analyse the 3D data and plan the procedure with efficiency and high precision. By automating these procedures, Perceptive is said to enable dentists to diagnose and treat more patients with higher quality care in less time, reducing the need for manual labour and minimising the chances of human error.
