“…The recent technological advances also led to the advent of robotic dentistry, which has greatly advanced in different fields such as endo micro robot, surgical robot, and robotic dental drilling 55 . In 2001, a teleoperated, human‐controlled robot successfully eliminated caries, performed a crown preparation, and performed an endodontic treatment 56 .…”

Aim The level of preparedness of the healthcare system plays an important role in management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). This study attempted to devise a comprehensive protocol regarding dental care during the COVID‐19 outbreak. Methods and result Embase, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched until March 2020 for relevant papers. Sixteen English papers were enrolled to answer questions about procedures that are allowed to perform during the COVID‐19 outbreak, patients who are in priority to receive dental care services, the conditions and necessities for patient admission, waiting room and operatory room, and personal protective equipment (PPE) that is necessary for dental clinicians and the office staff. Conclusion Dental treatment should be limited to patients with urgent or emergency situation. By screening questionnaires for COVID‐19, patients are divided into three groups of (a) apparently healthy, (b) suspected for COVID‐19, and (c) confirmed for COVID‐19. Separate waiting and operating rooms should be assigned to each group of patients to minimize the risk of disease transmission. All groups should be treated with the same protective measures with regard to PPE for the dental clinicians and staff.

“…It is an anticipated outcome that robotic wire bending and CAD/CAM appliances are the most frequently measured domain because orthodontics since its inception has always tried to improve the efficacy and efficiency of appliances through the change and improvement of many modalities over time from 3D-assisted diagnosis and management to customized CAD/CAM appliances with automated wire bending robots. The use of a robot to bend an arch wire was found to be a rapid, reliable, and reproducible process that increases the treatment accuracy, efficacy, and efficiency when compared to conventional arch wire manufacturing, reducing the treatment time and the patient discomfort [25,47,132,133]. Likewise, using customized brackets manufactured by robots, the treatment effectiveness and efficiency can be improved by overcoming individual tooth morphology variations and by precise virtual planning of individual tooth movements [26, 31-34, 96, 98-100].…”

“…A noteworthy contribution of robotics in orthodontics is their applications in implant placement and maxillofacial surgeries including cleft palate surgeries, improving surgical efficiency and precision [47][48][49]. In 2017, the dental implant navigation robot system manufactured by Neocis Inc, called Yomi, received FDA approval and became the world's first commercially available oral implant robot [50].…”

The last decade (2010-2021) has witnessed the evolution of robotic applications in orthodontics. This review scopes and analyzes published orthodontic literature in eight different domains: (1) robotic dental assistants; (2) robotics in diagnosis and simulation of orthodontic problems; (3) robotics in orthodontic patient education, teaching, and training; (4) wire bending and customized appliance robotics; (5) nanorobots/microrobots for acceleration of tooth movement and for remote monitoring; (6) robotics in maxillofacial surgeries and implant placement; (7) automated aligner production robotics; and (8) TMD rehabilitative robotics. A total of 1,150 records were searched, of which 124 potentially relevant articles were retrieved in full. 87 studies met the selection criteria following screening and were included in the scoping review. The review found that studies pertaining to arch wire bending and customized appliance robots, simulative robots for diagnosis, and surgical robots have been important areas of research in the last decade (32%, 22%, and 16%). Rehabilitative robots and nanorobots are quite promising and have been considerably reported in the orthodontic literature (13%, 9%). On the other hand, assistive robots, automated aligner production robots, and patient robots need more scientific data to be gathered in the future (1%, 1%, and 6%). Technological readiness of different robotic applications in orthodontics was further assessed. The presented eight domains of robotic technologies were assigned to an estimated technological readiness level according to the information given in the publications. Wire bending robots, TMD robots, nanorobots, and aligner production robots have reached the highest levels of technological readiness: 9; diagnostic robots and patient robots reached level 7, whereas surgical robots and assistive robots reached lower levels of readiness: 4 and 3, respectively.

“…Navigational implant placements have shown great success by decreasing the incidence of maxillary sinus perforations and other chronic complications of sinus cavity and prevalence of infections. Dynamic navigation device was used with planning data and Cone Beam Computed Tomographic (CBCT) image for surgical implant insertions [16,17].…”

Technology is evolving every day and the latest trends in Artificial Intelligence have made dental procedures less time consuming and minimally invasive. With their application the decision making processes have become easier and faster. Patients are more comfortable and dentists are more confident about their work. This advent of technology into medical science has made both practitioners and their patients comfortable and confident about the treatment rendered and received. The use of machine learning has made the decision making process easier by stimulating human intelligence into the machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. Artificial Intelligence has proved itself to be a boon in the field of dentistry. In future AI based comprehensive care systems are expected to have high quality patient care and help researchers know and treat more about diseases. Even though misconceptions and certain limitations about Artificial Intelligence prevails, it still continues to flourish due to its advantages in providing precision.
