Scientists from China have developed a robot that may soon replace dentists. The machine has even performed its first dental procedure on a real patient.
The South China Morning Post published information that the first dental procedure was performed in China, which from the beginning to the end performed an autonomous robot. It lasted 60 minutes and was a great success. The robot implanted two teeth, which were printed out with a 3D printer. The robot did all the work itself. The doctors entered only the data concerning the patient's teeth before the procedure. Besides you, they put her in the right position and thoroughly disinfected all the elements. In addition, they changed the drill during the procedure.
Of course, scientists and doctors have been observing all the movements of the dental robot for an hour, so that if you have any doubts or problems, you can take action immediately. Fortunately, this was not necessary, however, as the work of the machine was evaluated almost perfectly. It was extremely accurate and precise, which was repeatedly emphasized in the media..,
According to the latest data, the demand for dentists in China is huge and growing. Currently, as many as 400 million people need to replace and repair their teeth. In this case, such robots can be a real salvation. Thanks to them you will not have to wait too long for a visit to the office.
