YOUR next dental procedure could be with a robot dentist in the latest wild AI development.
Experts have unveiled what they claim is the first fully automated robotic dental system designed to work faster than a human dentist.

Boston-based Perceptive has revealed a shocking video of a bot performing the dreaded tooth drilling.
The company is backed by Ed Zuckerberg, father of Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, who is a prominent dentist.
Perceptive says it has created AI-based 3D imaging software and a robotic arm that can do restorative dentistry for now, with “unmatched speed and precision.”
They say that tasks like fitting a crown usually require two visits to the dentist lasting at least an hour each.
But the robot aims to reduce this time to just 15 minutes.
“We are thrilled to successfully complete the world’s first fully automated robotic dental procedure,” said Dr. Chris Ciriello, CEO and founder of Perceptive.
“This medical advancement increases the precision and efficiency of dental procedures and democratizes access to better dental care to improve the patient experience and clinical outcomes.
“We look forward to advancing our system and pioneering scalable, fully automated dental healthcare solutions for patients.”
The system is capable of building a detailed 3D model of everything from teeth and gums to nerves.
An advanced scanner captures 3D images below the gum line, through fluids and beneath the tooth surface.
Perceptive also claims that it can safely treat teeth “even in the busiest conditions.”
It analyzes 3D image data to plan the procedure, freeing human dentists to diagnose and treat more patients with better care in less time.
The device is currently in development, with no indication of when it will be available to the masses.
Perspective’s next hurdle will be seeking regulatory approval.
