BOSTON—Perceptive recently completed the world’s first fully automated dental procedure on a human using its advanced robotic dentistry system. This milestone marks a significant leap forward in dental care, integrating advanced imaging, artificial intelligence and robotics to set a new standard of care in dentistry.

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.

The system then uses Perceptive’s AI algorithms to analyze the 3D data and plan the procedure with efficiency and high precision. By automating these procedures, Perceptive enables dentists to diagnose and treat more patients with higher quality care in less time, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing the chances of human error.

Perceptive’s dental robotics system and intraoral scanner are currently under development.
