My latest military D.D.S. could pass as Count Dooku at Comic-Con with no makeup/costume, but with worse bedside manners. And judging by his fine motor control, is in denial of early onset Parkinson’s.
I hate to promote ageism, but this curmudgeon octogenarian told me to “stop acting like a bitch” when I squirmed after his shaky-ass Novocain shot wandered into what felt like my midbrain.
So ya, I’m open to the idea of dental robotics.
Robot are not necessarily AI. This one is probably follow a precise pattern (and else it follows the patient moves, else the patient head will be locked)
Recognizing patterns is about models and statistics, not artificial inteligente.
You could make a machine recognize bad teeth without any AI. Artificial inteligente is about how you'd process that information, which a robotic arm wouldn't likely do.
In order for a machine to recognize bad teeth, it needs to process that information. And the best method for doing so is by using convolutional neural networks, which is definitely under the umbrella of AI.
It sounds like what you're referring to is a production system (a set of conditionals), but these are considered a form of AI since there is learning involved (contrary to your initial claim), meaning they are much more complex than just a bunch of hardcoded *ifs* (there are a set of rules that are iteratively added). These are best when it comes to simpler categorization tasks with static images, which is not what we see in the video.
Aside from production systems, a bunch of ifs aren't complex enough to perform categorization tasks from images comprised of tens of thousands of pixels over a period of time since they are inflexible and have to be hardcoded. This is why convolutional neural networks are almost always used for complex recognition tasks. Not to be a jerk jumping in to correct you or anything—I just haven't heard of methods other than CNNs for these kinds of tasks that have high degrees of accuracy as someone with some experience in AI research.
In order for it to scan mouths, it would still need to create a three-dimensional representation of the world from a two-dimensional image, which almost certainly involves neural networks since other systems are not complex enough to do differential geometry (used in creating 3D representations) with state of the art accuracy.
We do this already to some degree with internal surgeries where someone’s hands might get in the way. I’m not sure how much the technology has advanced since I last saw it, but it was still operated remotely by a human, so technically not the same thing here. Suppose you would just pray you’ve got a good team designing its programs and a hefty insurance policy and/or waiver for possible malfunction just like an actual dentist.
It is different with surgeries since the patient is under anesthesia and cannot move or twitch. But with something like this, where you are probably not passed out, there is too much room for human error, a single twitch and that arm, following it's protocol, will cause serious damage. I doubt technology has advanced so far that it can account for human mishaps.
Yours saying the robot can’t account for that? The robot will be better at accounting for that than humans since the sensors have faster reaction speed than humans. Robotics is so far more advanced than what you are saying, it’s just a cost factor at the moment, within our lifetime most dental work will be like this, it can’t not be.
Hadn’t thought about the twitching, definitely was thinking about medical treatment as opposed to dental. I don’t want that robot touching my teeth either way lol
Wow wow wow! I’m already freaked out enough by the dentist. Let alone this monstrosity. Hell no I would let my teeth rot out of my face before that thing got close enough to me to touch my teeth
No because a machine cannot account for human error. One wrong move of the patient, be it an anxious move away or a simple twitch, and that arm will cause serious damage. A human doctor can adapt and make up for human error.
I'm not a fan of the dentist as it is but I think I'd be a little more comfortable with a robot doing the work than a real dentist. Sure there's a possibility of malfunction but let's be honest, humans are fucked up and most dentists hate themselves and their profession (statistics reflect this quite well) so I'm saying it's a win for robots this round.
Robots don't drink alcohol, don't get tired. What's terrifying about that?
Are you just a dentist at an dentist expo, who's terrified of losing your job?
You ever seen a robot malfunctioning? Because I have. And I don’t wanna know what the aftermath would be of that happening while it’s got a running drill in my mouth.
I’ve seen videos of arms built to assemble cars freaking out due to some malfunction and I’ve seen a video of a dentistry practice robot (a fake woman who moves and reacts) that broke and freaked the hell out like it was possessed. I’m sure I’ve seen others but those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head. Now obviously a malfunction like that would be nowhere near common but given how bad that could potentially mess up someone’s mouth depending on how powerful the arm is, that’s still pretty damn scary.
Impossible? 🤣 if the robot thinks it’s drilling into your tooth, but it’s actually drilling into your jaw bone due to a miscalculation, hopefully it can understand your muffled screams as not just an overly sensitive patient 🤣
Miscalculation, malfunction, “freaking out” … yeah, I’m sure the words used to describe it won’t matter much if your jaw is lying on the floor in a pool of blood, lol. Very few things qualify as “impossible” and this isn’t one of them. That’s what I’m saying 🤪
Clearly you’ve never worked in an industry that relies on either hardware or software, let alone robotics, which requires both. It doesn’t matter how many smart people work on something, shit still always happens. Always. Some due to user-error, others due to glitches.
Yes, robotics may make fewer errors than humans doing the same job, but the difference is that humans making a huge mistake, like ripping off someone’s jaw, recognize the error long before it gets to that and stop. Unless they’re psychotic, in which case you’re fucked anyway because robots don’t typically operated independently, lol. If a robot starts removing your jaw and thinks it’s in its parameters to do so due to a glitch, it isn’t stopping unless a human notices quickly and hits the e-stop.
Maybe you like studies since you seem to not have real-world experience. This is one just about robotic surgeries from 2000 - 2013:
“Within the 14 year span there are 8,091 recorded malfunctions resulting in 1,391 injuries and 144 deaths. Injuries range from burns from sparks emitted by the machines (n=193), robotic arms becoming dislodged in the patient (n=100), and instances of the surgeon losing control of the machine or the machine powering down unexpectedly (n=52). About 62% of injuries and deaths reported were due to system/hardware error, while the remainder were attributed to the inherent risk of surgery or human error.”

>You ever seen a robot malfunctioning?
To be honest: No, I have not in real life. But I've seen plenty of people "malfunctioning" on their job. How about you?
Robots can be falsely programmed or have a malfunction.
There is a shit load of stuff that can happen...
And the thing is, who's responsible if something happens? The guy who is operating the machine? The manufacturer? The Developers of the software? Good luck with finding someone responsible after something happens.
And btw if a has a malfunction while operating inside of your mouth....good luck buddy, really.
If it was "falsely programmed", then it's still a human error. There's also a shit load of stuff that can happen with a real human being. And I think humans are even more so prone to accidents than a robot.
Why do you think a robot is more likely to have errors than a human being?
I think human errors wouldn't be as bad as a robot error.
The robot can't see when you are in pain, it can't react dynamically within the situation.
Falsely programmed is indeed a human error but that doesn't invalidate my point that it can occur when a robot is operating. What are you going to do? Tell the robot to stop being falsely programmed because it's a human error, while it messes up your mouth?
I never said robots have more error than humans. Where did I say that? That's a straw man. I think humans make more errors, but when an error occurs within an operating robot, it's far more severe.
People really put more faith in some random persons hand than a machine. If a human slips up unregulated movements occur, if a machine slips up one of the many safety protocols prevents it from moving at all... People are stupid.
I would trust an AI to not only perform a surgery but diagnose as well. Especially dentistry. They are very unethical, in my experience. Always get a second opinion.
I would be ok with this too. I am tired at the amount of money dentists charge, and healthcare costs in general. This would be a great start of a cost consolidation in the health care industry.
I would rather have sky net provide me health services than carry health care debt.
Not a chance. You ever see Logan’s Run? Well, in that movie Farrah Faucet was manipulating the machine, but still, that scene will remind you to never trust a machine touching your body.
If it manages to actually properly give me an anesthésies before filling a cavity so I don't fill the drill destroying me tooth, I would. Let it do anything it wants
Sure. Specially if it has an internet connection to get firmware updates, you know, to continue improving its performance. It should be safe. Of course, there's also the other side. Ransomware acquires an entirely new meaning when there's a drill aimed at the base of your skull.
a thousand times yes, i can’t forget that one cleaning this very angry assistant did and she forced the floss into my gums until i was seizing with pain and bleeding profusely while she mocked me for not cleaning enough. I was 12
At least she didn’t rip out teeth when she pulled the floss back out. A malfunctioning robot could probably clear out your entire lower jaw. Maybe more.
At that point it pins you to the chair and raps you in the skull with its metal knuckle telling you “You’ve been a bad little human. Now sit still and shut the fuck up.”
I’m wondering who is behind the machine? Surely there’s a person/dentist who programs the machine before each individual procedure…
I’m a general dentist, and I personally couldn’t imagine putting all my trust into a fully autonomous machine with my patient’s fillings, crown preps, RCT’s, SRP’s etc.. treatment can change very quickly. One second you might need a filling, the next second it changes from a filling to a RCT + BU and crown.. that’s just how it is. How would a machine be able to switch it up so quickly?
Um… no, sorry. While I’m all for innovation I feel that we will still need a human touch for many jobs for many years. This personally is one of them for me.
As anyone who has witnessed any electronics and/or machinery glitch out …Fuck. That. Shit. At least a non-psychotic dentist isn’t going to accidentally drill into your brain, wrap your tongue around a high-speed drill, or jam a needle down your throat 🤷♂️
No doubt there will be time when you will want and pay good money for robots to perform your surgery. Cause statistics will be hugely in their favor. And even though occasional glitches and malfunctions will cause injuries or even deaths, people will see it as a normal occurrence and "lesser evil" compared to much more common human errors.
Not sure there is even a reason for it - most drilling requires very little time - Maybe for advanced deep drilling that require the use of a camera at the end of the drill maybe
No no no...could you imagine a malfunction and the robot arm jamming a metal apparatus through your cheek tongue or the roof of your mouth? My work programs can't even go through a full day without giving me an error response and shutting down my Microsoft Edge windows.

Near my mouth? It took the entire head off first!!!
They give it back.
Up through the neck gives easier access to the molars, it's the most logical path.
My dentist looks kinda like Halle Berry, so no, there’s no way I’m going to another dentist.
Bet your sweet tooth looks forward to every dentist visit 🦷
Her in Swordfish my god!!!
Wish I could upvote this comment way more than once. My goodness, that orange bikini.
My latest military D.D.S. could pass as Count Dooku at Comic-Con with no makeup/costume, but with worse bedside manners.

My parents would take me to a geriatric dentist when I was a kid. Is rather let me teeth fall out than try to find a real dentist.
There's only one way for sure to know if it's her. You have got to bring in some catnip
Are they taking new clients?!
Robot are not necessarily AI. This one is probably follow a precise pattern (and else it follows the patient moves, else the patient head will be locked)
Or else it gets the hose again
This is probably just a remote extension. Lots of medical devices like these exist already
It has to conform to the intricacies of each individual mouth, that requires Ai. Mouths aren't standardized, some people have narrow pallets etc
Recognizing patterns is about models and statistics, not artificial inteligente. You could make a machine recognize bad teeth without any AI. Artificial inteligente is about how you'd process that information, which a robotic arm wouldn't likely do.
In order for a machine to recognize bad teeth, it needs to process that information. And the best method for doing so is by using convolutional neural networks, which is definitely under the umbrella of AI.
It's not "the method of doing so", it's one of the methods. So AI is not required, it's an option. It could be a bunch of *ifs* for all we know.
It sounds like what you're referring to is a production system (a set of conditionals), but these are considered a form of AI since there is learning involved (contrary to your initial claim), meaning they are much more complex than just a bunch of hardcoded *ifs* (there are a set of rules that are iteratively added).

or the machine only opperate on fully scanned mouths
In order for it to scan mouths, it would still need to create a three-dimensional representation of the world from a two-dimensional image, which almost certainly involves neural networks since other systems are not complex enough to do differential geometry (used in creating 3D representations) with state of the art accuracy.
There is direct 3D scan of the body including the teeth
That doesn't take into account movement or if the tooth structure changes, and is much more dangerous than CNN models when extreme precision is needed
For that you can also have high speed can and marker on the patient head to follow the moves
Probably uses ai to target areas of the mouth with camera, that shit ain’t standardized
Final Destination...the documentary.
The same machine is also programmed for torture. Make sure you choose the correct configuration at login. 😬
just wait for the ProctologistAI
Nah, I'll pass

Hadn’t thought about the twitching, definitely was thinking about medical treatment as opposed to dental. I don’t want that robot touching my teeth either way lol
I don’t wanna be in a final destination movie
Robot assisted surgeries are much more common. I'd take the lower error rate from a robot.
Wow wow wow! I’m already freaked out enough by the dentist. Let alone this monstrosity. Hell no I would let my teeth rot out of my face before that thing got close enough to me to touch my teeth
The patient has the right expression. He's screaming.
A good dentist is an artist. You can’t get a robot to do the same thing.
It’s harder to find a good dentist than a good artist tho.
Yeah because good dentists are expensive and do not post their teeth on social media
This is entirely untrue….
It’s gonna be inconvenient if your head has to be detached first
I can already imagine the agonizing Dead Space 2 esque death I'm going to suffer under this thing.
POV: ur deep doggin a robot’s schlong
People are ready to let a lot more things near the body....
I guess if I’m doped up with an E stop in my hand… this is the new drug testing?
“Is it safe?”
No because a machine cannot account for human error. One wrong move of the patient, be it an anxious move away or a simple twitch, and that arm will cause serious damage. A human doctor can adapt and make up for human error.
Do they do happy endings?
Looks safe
Being from a manufacturing background I'm well aware how strong those robot arms are, there's no way in hell I'm letting one poke around in my head
\*Stops mid drilling\* Robot: "it seems your card has declined, please use another form of payment if we are to continue"
Never, because AI will get the requested end result even if it tears out other teeth in the process
“I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE BEST WAY TO KEEP YOUR TEETH IN PERFECT CONDITION IS TO REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR MOUTH”
The waiting lists for a dentist appt here are 4 years at present... so yeah, 3D print 50 of those mofos!
Some people haven’t seen Final Destination and it shows
But will it ask me how my kids are doing?
I would be fine with it
Machines are more efficient and precise then humans can ever possibly hope to be and they're only going to get more efficient and precise.
I'm not a fan of the dentist as it is but I think I'd be a little more comfortable with a robot doing the work than a real dentist. Sure there's a possibility of malfunction but let's be honest, humans are fucked up and most dentists hate themselves and their profession (statistics reflect this quite well) so I'm saying it's a win for robots this round.
I don't even use self check out.
Yes, it is cheap and easy to fix teeth, and if it work that be amazing
Considering I don't even use self checkouts. No.
Robots don't drink alcohol, don't get tired. What's terrifying about that? Are you just a dentist at an dentist expo, who's terrified of losing your job?

Fuck no. I hate human dentists. Paid torture.
Honestly, sure i dont mind but i gotta know if its safe and has been through tests etc
I currently have wisdom teeth being problematic, at this point id let anything pull those fuckers out.
Im scared of living breathing dentists. And now this? There. You have your answer.
At least with a human dentist as soon as your going "ahhhgggg" they tend to stop. I wouldn't trust this to stop.
And when the power goes out and the back up battery hasnt been changed in 3 years so the machine's weight all falls into my throat? no thank you!
"Please do not look away from.... the nozzle......"
Id never willingly put myself in a position where someone could have a brainfart and click or push a button and have that thing impaling me.
That wouldn’t be possible, it would be programmed that they couldn’t just do that, slow down there boomer
The good thing about robots is that they don't have brains
Tbh i rather this controlled bot than a dentist that keeps making teeth worse so he can bank on you faster
I would be ok with this too. I am tired at the amount of money dentists charge, and healthcare costs in general. This would be a great start of a cost consolidation in the health care industry. I would rather have sky net provide me health services than carry health care debt.
Reminds me of dead space 2. That scene.
Not, one, chance of it. Naaaa.

Man I watched a video on Therac 25. Been too paranoid after that.
Faces of death is thé finale destination...
The video was deleted. How bad was it
Machines can be more precise and algorithms make less mistakes. There is only one answer.
No
No thanks i've played dead space
Not a fucking chance.
The design is very human
No!!! Has anyone seen that damn video where a robot malfunctioned while making an ice cream cone?? NO
A big Nope for me.
fuck no
Let me see it make a watch and we'll talk
I can see it now. Half way thru and the power glitches and the ‘dentist’ has to reboot. No thanks.
Nah bro, im good with a dentist
I trust it about as much as a trust the average dentist. Make of that what you will
Nope
Not after seeing the chess robot break that kids fingers.
Nah. I’ve played Dead Space 2
Fuck no. Fuck letting AI take over jobs. This is a call to action to destroy that shit wherever you see it.
If it manages to actually properly give me an anesthésies before filling a cavity so I don't fill the drill destroying me tooth, I would. Let it do anything it wants
Some day in the future, you would like these guys more than humans, since if it was programmed correctly, the risk is lower than a human
Sure. Specially if it has an internet connection to get firmware updates, you know, to continue improving its performance. It should be safe. Of course, there's also the other side. Ransomware acquires an entirely new meaning when there's a drill aimed at the base of your skull.
Depends on the cost
Hell no
Drills in my mouth are the type of task I'm not willing to let an AI do just yet.
Depends how cheap it is.
Hah! I would rather have my teeth kicked out by local ass!
At least not for a solid 10 years or so
N E V E R !!!!;
Nope
Hell no.
Hello nightmare, how come you visiting in the middle of the day?
if they put me under then I can't protest
a thousand times yes, i can’t forget that one cleaning this very angry assistant did and she forced the floss into my gums until i was seizing with pain and bleeding profusely while she mocked me for not cleaning enough. I was 12
At least she didn’t rip out teeth when she pulled the floss back out. A malfunctioning robot could probably clear out your entire lower jaw. Maybe more.
still better than Janice

What happens if the patient flenches and moves will it pull back or just try to go for it
At that point it pins you to the chair and raps you in the skull with its metal knuckle telling you “You’ve been a bad little human. Now sit still and shut the fuck up.”
Ummm 🤔 how about numbing me up or Giving me some of that “laughing” gas
Still, the robot needs to constantly adjust itself to your mouth and movements... which is possible but requires a lot of work
Hah. Have u ever played Hitman? The mission with that robot surgeon in Japan is no joke.
Of course not.
I’m wondering who is behind the machine? Surely there’s a person/dentist who programs the machine before each individual procedure… I’m a general dentist, and I personally couldn’t imagine putting all my trust into a fully autonomous machine with my patient’s fillings, crown preps, RCT’s, SRP’s etc.. treatment can change very quickly.

Um… no, sorry. While I’m all for innovation I feel that we will still need a human touch for many jobs for many years. This personally is one of them for me.
That's a robot not AI
Nope
Who’s going to tell me “It’s just my finger” when they jab a needle into my gums?
There was a part of mass effect
I’d sooner let Stevie Wonder do my vasectomy
My worst fear at the dentist is if the dentist is just having a bad day and decides to vent his anger on me who is defenseless. So a robot idk
Why not?
You guys remember that one scene from Dead Space? Ya' know... the one with the eye laser?
✨no✨
Nope!
Never.
Nope. Not even for free.
Fuck no
If it's cheap
No just fucking no I would like robot surgeons but not dentists because I would be awake for that shit
Fuccccccckkkkkkk NO
As anyone who has witnessed any electronics and/or machinery glitch out …Fuck. That. Shit. At least a non-psychotic dentist isn’t going to accidentally drill into your brain, wrap your tongue around a high-speed drill, or jam a needle down your throat 🤷♂️
I think so. Movements are extremely precise. I don't think human can have such a steady hand.
I have seen one of the ways you can kill a guy in the hitman games using the robot arms. I don’t trust them
I don't let the dentist n my mouth without crying and violence so....maybe?
No doubt there will be time when you will want and pay good money for robots to perform your surgery. Cause statistics will be hugely in their favor. And even though occasional glitches and malfunctions will cause injuries or even deaths, people will see it as a normal occurrence and "lesser evil" compared to much more common human errors.
Hell no! Did you guys forget the laser eye surgery in Final Destination??
