Robotics is progressing rapidly. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the basic and applied research status of robotics in dentistry and discusses its development and application prospects in several major professional fields of dentistry.
A literature search was conducted on databases: MEDLINE, IEEE and Cochrane Library, using MeSH terms: ["robotics" and "dentistry"].
Forty-nine articles were eventually selected according to certain inclusion criteria. There were 12 studies on prosthodontics, reaching 24%; 11 studies were on dental implantology, accounting for 23%. Scholars from China published the most articles, followed by Japan and the United States. The number of articles published between 2011 and 2015 was the largest.
With the advancement of science and technology, the applications of robots in dental medicine has promoted the development of intelligent, precise, and minimally invasive dental treatments. Currently, robots are used in basic and applied research in various specialized fields of dentistry. Automatic tooth-crown-preparation robots, tooth-arrangement robots, drilling robots, and orthodontic archwire-bending robots that meet clinical requirements have been developed. We believe that in the near future, robots will change the existing dental treatment model and guide new directions for further development.
机器人技术正在迅速发展。本研究的目的是全面概述机器人技术在牙科领域的基础研究和应用研究现状，并探讨其在牙科几个主要专业领域的发展及应用前景。
在MEDLINE、IEEE和Cochrane图书馆数据库中进行文献检索，使用医学主题词：["机器人技术"和"牙科"]。
最终根据一定的纳入标准选择了49篇文章。其中有12篇关于口腔修复学的研究，占24%；11篇关于牙种植学的研究，占23%。中国学者发表的文章最多，其次是日本和美国。2011年至2015年发表的文章数量最多。
随着科学技术的进步，机器人在牙科医学中的应用推动了智能、精确和微创牙科治疗的发展。目前，机器人已应用于牙科各个专业领域的基础研究和应用研究。已开发出符合临床要求的自动牙冠制备机器人、排牙机器人、钻孔机器人和正畸弓丝弯曲机器人。我们相信，在不久的将来，机器人将改变现有的牙科治疗模式，并为进一步发展指引新方向。
