Keypoint

  • Improved Accuracy and Evenness of Finish: Provides as-designed tooth preparation regardless of a dentist’s skill level and as a result well-fitting dental restorations. This significantly reduces problems such as detachment or fracture of the restorations and secondary caries.
  • Full Digitalization: Seamlessly integrates with existing dental CAD/CAM systems, digitizing the entire process from tooth preparation to fabrication of restorations. Maximize the benefits of CAD/CAM.
  • Software-Defined Dentistry: Benefits elimination of ambiguity, optimization of treatments, accumulation and inheritance of treatment techniques, and enhanced compatibility with AI.

Benefit

  • Improved Accuracy and Evenness of Finish: Enhanced quality in tooth preparation, leading to better fitting dental restorations and fewer issues such as detachment, breakage, and secondary caries.
  • Full Digitalization: Seamless integration with existing dental CAD/CAM systems, enabling full digitalization from tooth preparation to fabrication of restorations and maximizing benefits of “Computer-Aided” technology.
  • Optimization and Education: Optimization of machining conditions and significant applications in dental education systems.
  • Software-Defined Dentistry: Elimination of ambiguity, optimization of treatments, accumulation and inheritance of treatment techniques, and enhanced compatibility with AI.

Market Application

  • Robotic Dental Treatment Systems: The treatment systems specifically designed for dental applications address the unique requirements of tooth preparation and restoration.
  • Truly Full-Digital Dental CAD/CAM Systems: Manufacturers of dental CAD/CAM systems can integrate the robotic technology into their product lines, offering more comprehensive digital solutions including computerized tooth preparation to dental professionals.
  • Dental Training Systems: Dental schools and training centers can use the technology to teach students precise tooth preparation techniques. It can also provide real-time feedback, helping students improve their skills.
