Abstract

Background

In the era of modern advanced endodontics, the reduction of reliance on human hands and shifting towards robotics could benefit the precision and accuracy of endodontic treatment. This scoping review aims to describe current and emerging trends in the applications of robots in endodontics and highlight their limitations and future perspectives.

Methods

This review followed the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) standards. A comprehensive search of internet databases was conducted until February 2024. Studies that specifically examined robots in the field of endodontics were included.

Results

The studies focused on root canal cleaning, shaping, surgical procedures, and other applications. Robotic systems demonstrated improved accuracy, precision, reduced errors, and time savings compared with manual techniques.

Conclusion

Robotics in endodontics show promise, especially in surgical procedures, with AI integration enhancing accuracy and efficiency. Challenges such as cost, physical limitations, and absence of tactile feedback require further research and investment.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery provides a cross-disciplinary platform for presenting the latest developments in robotics and computer assisted technologies for medical applications. The journal publishes cutting-edge papers and expert reviews, complemented by commentaries, correspondence and conference highlights that stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas. Areas of interest include robotic surgery aids and systems, operative planning tools, medical imaging and visualisation, simulation and navigation, virtual reality, intuitive command and control systems, haptics and sensor technologies. In addition to research and surgical planning studies, the journal welcomes papers detailing clinical trials and applications of computer-assisted workflows and robotic systems in neurosurgery, urology, paediatric, orthopaedic, craniofacial, cardiovascular, thoraco-abdominal, musculoskeletal and visceral surgery. Articles providing critical analysis of clinical trials, assessment of the benefits and risks of the application of these technologies, commenting on ease of use, or addressing surgical education and training issues are also encouraged. The journal aims to foster a community that encompasses medical practitioners, researchers, and engineers and computer scientists developing robotic systems and computational tools in academic and commercial environments, with the intention of promoting and developing these exciting areas of medical technology.
