Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Background:

Rapid advancements in robotics are impacting various scientific fields.
Dentistry is increasingly exploring the integration of robotic technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

To comprehensively review the current status of basic and applied research in dental robotics.
To discuss the development and application prospects of robotics in major dental specialties.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was performed across MEDLINE, IEEE, and Cochrane Library.
Keywords used included "robotics" and "dentistry".

Main Results:

Forty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria for the review.
Prosthodontics (24%) and dental implantology (23%) were the most researched areas.
China, Japan, and the United States were leading contributors, with the highest publication volume between 2011-2015.

Conclusions:

Robotic applications are driving intelligent, precise, and minimally invasive dental treatments.
Developed robotic systems include those for tooth preparation, arrangement, drilling, and orthodontic archwire bending.
Robotics is poised to transform the future of dental treatment models.
