The development of technology and artificial intelligence is surpassing human understanding. Operations performed by robots may soon become our everyday reality. One such robot has independently performed a dental procedure on a patient. Remarkably, it did so much faster than a human.

We are living in times where we can observe the development of technology with our own eyes. Virtually every day, we learn about machines controlled by artificial intelligence that assist people in their everyday work. Robots are keenly utilised in medicine due to their superior precision compared to humans. Additionally, they often see much more than human eyes. Consequently, hospitals and clinics opt to employ artificial intelligence and machines.
It can be clearly stated that the history of dentistry is unfolding before our eyes. The manufacturers of the Boston-based company Perceptive have created a dental robot that has already performed its first procedure on a human patient. Doctors claim that this machine could be revolutionary. The artificial intelligence performed admirably, executing its task quickly, precisely, and, for many, most importantly, painlessly.
The dental robot performed its first procedure on a human
Most people do not like going to the dentist. These visits are often associated with discomfort, an unpleasant atmosphere, and worst of all, unimaginable pain. Consequently, the thought of visiting the dentist induces stress and stomach aches in many of us. This may soon come to an end, thanks to the dental robot created by Perceptive. The machine performs procedures much faster than a human and does so painlessly. Its first contact with a human was successful.
Dr. Chris Ciriello, CEO and founder of Perceptive, expressed enthusiasm about the achievement of the world's first fully automated dental procedure performed by a robot. He emphasized that this medical breakthrough enhances the precision and efficiency of dental treatments, broadens access to higher-quality dental care, and ultimately improves patient comfort and clinical results, during a media interview.
The employees of the aforementioned company believe that the dental robot will forever change dentistry. They predict that every patient who uses its services will be satisfied. Patients will forget about discomfort and pain, and visits to the dentist will finally start to be associated with pleasant experiences. As we read on geekweek.interia.pl, the Perceptive robot has not yet been approved by the American Food and Drug Administration, suggesting that the vision of robots widely drilling in our teeth is still somewhat distant.
