| 😷How it works – To perform this unique procedure, a human assistant first used a handheld 3D scanner to map the patient’s mouth. The robot then used the resulting 3D model to plan and execute the operation autonomously. | ||
| Perspective noted that the AI-powered bot performed the procedure with impressive accuracy while ensuring patient safety. The company also reported that the technique boasts a 90% accuracy rate in spotting cavities and other types of erosion. | ||
| 👨🏻⚕️From the experts – Of course, those behind the robo-dentist couldn’t help but sing its praises. | ||
| Dr. Chris Ciriello, CEO and founder of Perceptive, pointed out that this breakthrough not only makes top-notch dental care more accessible but also enhances patient experiences and clinical outcomes. | ||
| Seconding that, Karim Zaklama, a member of Perceptive’s clinical advisory board, highlighted that the AI-driven robotic system is set to revolutionize dentistry by streamlining procedures and boosting patient comfort.
