When one thinks of robotics and dentistry, one thinks about a day when a robot would be conducting surgery or taking X-rays. The dream has already come halfway through. So, if we snap out of our dreams and think about them practically, One would be surprised to see how robotics have taken over the healthcare industry like a storm. Robots can help surgeons or doctors by assisting and performing procedures. Therefore, if one thinks about the future of robotics, it will be streamlined through robotic surgeons and tele dentistry (Gurbuz, E., Gungor, M., & Hatipoglu, H. 2021). This paper is going to showcase how advanced robots are and their achievements. Also, it is going to showcase what the future might look like in the field of robotic dentistry and tele dentistry. Moreover, there will be a question of whether the benefit is worth it to patients or whether the advancement will create more problems in patients’ lives.
