The technology was simulated by Wuhan University Stomatological Hospital and Beihang University’s robotics institute to deal with a lack of dentists in the country and frequent surgical errors.
The dental implants, made with 3D printing, were applied within a margin of error of 0.2-0.3 millimeters, the surgical model for this type of operation.
The patient was estimated using a CT scan and the robot was drafted with the specific movements it needed to conduct the surgery, including angles and depth for the new teeth. After a test, the procedure was executed on the woman in Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, who has inflicted only a local anesthetic. The robot was able to make improvements to compensate for the patient’s own movements.
