Perceptive Technologies’ dental robotics system offers a breakthrough in efficiency and precision. Utilizing AI-driven 3D imaging, the system can perform complex procedures like crown placement in a fraction of the traditional time, reducing patient discomfort and increasing overall treatment satisfaction.
Perceptive’s AI robotics system uses 3D volumetric data for diagnostics and treatment planning, enabling early and highly accurate diagnoses. The procedure begins with an optical coherence technology (OCT) scan of the patient’s tooth and mouth using Perceptive’s handheld intraoral scanner. This advanced scanner captures 3D images beneath the gum line, through fluids and under the tooth surface, offering unparalleled imaging capabilities. Patients can clearly visualize their dental conditions through these detailed images, helping them better understand their need for care.
“The robotics system has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure that dentists can perform treatments safely, even in conditions where patient movement is prevalent,” said Mark Zuckerberg’s father Edward Zuckerberg, DDS, FAGD, a pioneer in the integration of technology in the dental clinic. “This commitment to safety is core to Perceptive’s dedication to providing reliable and effective dental care solutions using state-of-the art technology.”
“We’re excited to successfully complete the world’s first fully automated robotic dental procedure,” said Dr. Chris Ciriello, CEO and Founder of Perceptive Technologies. “This medical breakthrough enhances precision and efficiency of dental procedures, and democratizes access to better dental care, for improved patient experience and clinical outcomes. We look forward to advancing our system and pioneering scalable, fully automated dental healthcare solutions for patients.”
