IT Home reported on August 3 that the dental industry ushered in a historic moment. An AI-controlled automatic robot completed the world's first dental surgery.And it's about eight times faster than a human dentist


The AI ​​robot, made by Boston-based company Perceptive, uses a handheld 3D volumetric scanner to create a detailed 3D model of the oral cavity, including teeth, gums and even the nerves beneath the tooth surface, using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

OCT uses only beams to create a volume model with high resolution, automatically detecting cavities with approximately 90% accuracy and avoiding harmful X-ray radiation.

The first surgery performed by the AI ​​robot wasPreparing the tooth for a crown: Local anesthesia will be administered to help numb your tooth and surrounding gums for optimal comfort, and then the original tooth will be trimmed to make enough room for the crown, maintaining the integrity of the tooth structure.

The above operation usually takes 1-2 hours for dentists and is usually divided into 2 visits, but the AI ​​robot can complete it in less than 15 minutes.IT Home has attached some operation videos as follows. It may cause discomfort, please watch with caution
