an AI-controlled robot to perform a fully autonomous dental procedure on a human patient — for the first time, heralding a possible new era for dental treatment.
Perceptive, the company behind the robot, claims its system can shave off a considerable amount of time for routine procedures. The bot can replace crowns in just 15 minutes, it says, which takes a human dentist two hours across two office visits to complete. The company says it's tested the device on a patient in Colombia, but has yet to release any peer-reviewed clinical data. As, the company will need this data to apply for Food and Drug Administration approval, something that's still around five years away, according to Perceptive CEO Chris Ciriello."We’re excited to successfully complete the world's first fully automated robotic dental procedure," said Ciriello in a.
The robotic system uses a handheld 3D scanner that captures highly detailed 3D images of beneath the gum line, allowing patients to "clearly visualize their dental conditions.""The robotics system has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure that dentists can perform treatments safely, even in conditions where patient movement is prevalent," said dentist and Perceptive investor Edward Zuckerberg in the press release.
Perceptive has raised a considerable $30 million in funding, including from Zuckerberg — who also happens to be the father of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. It's unclear whether the younger Zuckerberg is involved in the financing of the venture., and companies are hoping to leverage AI technologies to bring the tech to the masses. But when that will happen remains an open question, as they still have plenty of regulatory hurdles to overcome.
