New Era Unfolds With The Use Of Robotics In Dentistry

Abstract

 Robotics in dentistry is emerging as a transformative force in diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical execution, prosthetic fabrication, endodontics, orthodontics, and education. While many systems are still in proof‑of‑concept or early clinical use, advances in imaging, AI, haptics, and robotic control are bringing us closer to more precise, minimally invasive, and efficient dental care. Significant challenges remain in cost, regulatory approval, training, and safety. This review summarises the current state, key applications, evidence, and prospective directions of robotics in dental practice, drawing upon recent literature
