Artificial intelligence and robotics: The enhanced paediatric dentist

Abstract

Automation would be an inevitable course of manual work facing every field in the future in view of technological advancements. The mental and physical strain incumbent on the paediatric dentist due to long hours of managing the child and the unwavering focus that the trade demands may compromise the quality of service. A system capable of physical manipulation that is powered by an intelligent program would be the ideal assistant to the dentist for carrying out technique sensitive procedures. Data management, diagnosis, treatment planning and student education can transcend to a new plane of execution with Artificial Intelligence and Robot enhanced Paediatric Dentist at the epicentre. Among the many hurdles faced by the idea of turning robotics in dentistry into a tangible reality is the extreme cost and bureaucratic resistance.
