Dental Robotics - A Game Changer

Harisha Dewan et al. J Pharm Bioallied Sci. 2024 Dec.

Abstract

Introduction: This systematic review was done to present the role of robots in dentistry.

Materials and methods: The search was conducted using the terms "dental robotics," "robotic-assisted dentistry," "robotic surgery in dentistry," "robotics in dental procedures," and "automated dental systems."

Results: Out of the 607 publications analyzed, only six were chosen and included in the calculations based on their publication year.

Conclusion: Precision and accuracy in robotics are discussed and used in many fields, yet they have limitations. In impoverished nations, robots replacing people is science fiction, always seeking improvement. Therefore, robotic dentistry is a fiction that could become real soon.

Keywords: Advancement; dental; dentistry; robots; technology.
