Any volunteers to be the first test subject?
That new,"less pain" stuff is for sissies. Let's stick with what works.
Gee, at that price it would be cheaper to just buy the system for personal home use, and save on the dental bills.
Methinks this is the first step to outsourcing dentists to India.
This thread has your name all over it!
How long does it take to take that thing off when it's time to "Spit"?
You're being challenged.
First off, the robot cannot properly administer Novacaine in the specific locations along the nerve centers like I can (if I feel like it).
Next, while drilling in an automated fashion can be done, each jaw is uniquie, and thus going into the jawbone is now highly likely, various sepsis can result, greater damages and stress fractures will be created, and the fillings impacting and overlaying the bloody sepsis with an impregnible layer.
Proper cleaning would still need to be performed by our nubile Hygenists. Little Katie... Marla... others...
Also, when the process is complete, you still need a dentist to check it's work, and my billing will need to go up in tandem with the costs/maintenance of such a machine.
And by the way, can a machine properly grope an unconscious patient of legal age???? I think not.
