Technical field

In recent years, CAD/CAM technology has been changing dentistry and computerization is progressing rapidly, mainly in the field of dental laboratory work. However, preparation (cutting or grinding) of tooth is still performed manually using dental handpieces. This technology aims to realize "Software-Defined Dentistry" by developing a robotic dental treatment system that is used under a dentist’s control and computerizes the tooth preparation.The benefits of the robotic dental treatment system include improved precision and reduced unevenness of finish in the tooth preparation. This is expected to enhance fitting accuracy of dental restorations, thereby reducing issues such as detachment, breakage, and secondary caries.Integrating the robotic dental treatment system with existing dental CAD/CAM systems will digitize all processes from the tooth preparation to fabrication of the restorations, maximizing the benefits of CAD/CAM. Additionally, significant derivative effects are anticipated, such as optimization of machining conditions, compatibility with AI, and applications in dental education systems.

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.
