ABSTRACT

Robotics is a branch that has multiple applications. Robotic surgery obtains results with high precision and accuracy. They have ability to operate in a contained space inside the human body. Robots are for non-invasive or minimally invasive surgery and to obtain better quality outcomes of surgery. However, it is challenge to develop a mechanical device (e.g. a robotic arm) that has dexterity same as human’s arms and a computer system that can recognise its surrounding, and a control that uses robotic arm to perform tasks same as a human being. Artificial intelligence (AI) includes a wide range of emerging technologies. The rise of Artificial Intelligence eases the analysis of larger data feasible, that provides dependable information and enhances the decision-making process. AI is eventually improving the practice of surgery with the use of imaging, navigation. This paper provides a review of existing applications and concepts of robotic systems and artificial intelligence in dentistry. Dentronics is as an emerging accomplishment in dentistry using lightweight robots for fulfilling different needs in clinical dentistry. It involves the development of framework, application of it in a specific dental area, and conducting assessments for evaluation.
