A robot has completed a fully-automated dental procedure on a human, in a world first.<\/p>\n

The technology features a robotic<\/strong> arm – along with artificial intelligence<\/strong> and 3D imaging – for performing dental work.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The US-based company Perceptive says its technology aims to be more accurate and faster in completing procedures including fillings and crowns.<\/p>\n

Chief executive and founder Dr Chris Ciriello said: “This medical breakthrough enhances precision and efficiency of dental procedures.”<\/p>\n

The company’s received $30m (\u00a323.5m) in funding and is backed by dentist Edward Zuckerberg, the father of Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

The firm claims that, in the future, crown placements could be completed in just 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

That compares to the current method needing two hour-long visits to the dentist.<\/p>\n

Part of the process begins with a 3D scan of a patient’s tooth and mouth, capturing images beneath the gum line.<\/p>\n

The robotic device is still a work in progress though.<\/p>\n

It is not currently on sale in the US and does not have clearance from the American regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).<\/p>\n

But the makers insist it is safe and claim their technology will “transform dentistry”.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
