In response to this researchers at the Beihang University have developed a robot that is actually a skilled dental surgeon.

The implants were created by 3D printing and were fitted within a error margin of 0.2- 0.3 mm. This is well within the acceptable limit for this kind of surgery. Human medical staff were present but did not participate during the dental surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Zhao Yimin, who is a oral rehabilitation specialist, felt that the robot combined the expertise of a dentist with the latest technology to benefit the patients. It&#8217;s not just the Chinese who feel that using a robot dentist is a good idea. In March this year the Food and Drug Administration also approved a robot system called Yomi, which is set to assist human dentists while fitting implants.<\/p>\n<p>Not all human patients may be comfortable letting a robot dentist handle their oral rehabilitation, but this <a href=\"https:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?School-Science-Projects---4-Secrets-to-Success&amp;id=1637270\">science project<\/a> has proved that it is possible.
