ABSTRACT

In the healthcare field, digital technology is transforming dentistry, particularly in the field of endodontics. Recently,transformative technologies such as 3D printing, real-time navigation, and artificial intelligence (AI) have been introduced, and they have set a few examples that reshaped the way dental care is delivered. this statement has proven to be true for diagnostic methodologies and decision-making strategies, as well as the performance of dental procedures.
the rapid advancements in AI have led to a variety of applications in endodontic diagnosis, ranging across various degrees of automation. Such advancements are particularly beneficial for facilitating quick disease screening and supporting naïve dental practitioners. Robotics have emerged as a game changer with the potential to execute definite and repetitive tasks. Robotics originated in the automotive industry and were pioneered in neurosurgery in the late 1980s. In the 1970s, NASA required remote yet precise surgical interventions for medical emergencies and astronauts, which led to the development of surgical robotics. More than thirty years later, this frontier modality came into use, and the first FDA-approved medical robotic “da Vinci” model was introduced in 2000.
