Perceptive announced it performed the world’s first fully automated dental procedure using a robot. The system integrates AI, 3D imaging, and robotics, enabling tasks like crown placements in just 15 minutes. Perceptive claims their robotic dentist can diagnose and plan treatments using a 3D volumetric data procedure and an optical coherence technology (OCT) scan. Perceptive’s CEO, Chris Ciriello, mentioned that FDA approval could take up to five years.
Perceptive announced a few days ago that it performed the world’s first fully automated dental procedure with the help of a robot.
Yeah, but what procedure?
I’m guessing a basic cleaning since they didn’t say what kind.
I imagine they started simple!

Seems like a stretch to call that a surgery

The only surgical robot I’ve seen used (at the 4 hospitals I’ve worked at) is the davinci, by Intuitive. None of those hospitals actually own the robot - it’s like a permanent rental.
They’re connected to the internet and send every single input to Intuitive - supposedly so they can assist better with telephone service when something fucks up.
100% guarantee they’re using that data to train machine learning with the end-goal of being able to just hit a “cholecystectomy” button and then sit and watch the robot do the whole thing.
Can’t go wrong. Nope, this is without risk and amazing!
Doesn’t have to be without risk - just has to have the same risk. Plenty of risk in regular dentistry
