In a groundbreaking dental moment, an AI-controlled autonomous robot created by Boston company Perceptive has performed a dental procedure on a human patient eight times faster than a human dentist. Using a 3D volumetric scanner, the system avoids harmful X-Ray radiation, has an accuracy rate around 90%, and can detect cavities automatically. The robotic dental surgeon can complete tasks in minutes that would normally take hours for humans. Although the idea of a robot performing dental work may seem scary, the precision and efficiency it offers could revolutionize dentistry. The robot is not FDA-approved yet, but the potential benefits include reduced chair time and improved patient care.
