I personally believed that it would be to risky to let AI to use all kinds of dental schools compared to a highly trained dentist.

John (medium chance within 10-15 years)说

Will robots be able to perform complex dentistry after being trained on it? The answer is not if but when. Robots are already predicting and maneuvering complex obstacles they've never seen before with the use of AI.

Some say dentists are safe because, hey, who would want to see a robot dentist? "I wouldn't want a robot dentist in my mouth."

But if everybody is also jobless due to advances in AI, you won't be able to afford anything BUT a robot dentist.

I think no one would be ok with a machine or robot trying to fix your teeth and touching your mouth. This could be so dangerous. Besides it would be a waste of time and money trying to build ai for this function. No chance. One of the few jobs that can't be replaced by a robot.

Deez nuts (没有机会)说

Honestly if I got replaced by a stupid unintelligent peace of trash id be mad...So don't replace me....

Brandon Young (没有机会)说

I would like someone experienced and someone that know what hurts or not.

Khadiga (没有机会)说

because i am a dentist and i know the challenges of this job.

So many clueless people on this page. To be clear, I HATE dentists. However, Imagine an unfeeling robot hurting a patient. Would it be able to stop? Or will it continue operating on the patient while they're screaming? I also don't think a robot can come up with a treatment plan independently either, or consult people who are deathly afraid of dentists already.

Maybe in the year 2700 we will advance to that stage. I heard of tha Chinese robot dentist back in 2017, but have not really hear any more things about it. From what I've seen from it though, the dummy mouth it worked on was already "pre-molded" for the robot dentist to operate on. Every mouth is different, everyone's pain tolerance is different, and everyone's mental state when dealing with the dentist is different.

Can a robot sense when a patient is getting an anxiety attack and stop to calm them down? Do you want a 200,000 rpm diamond bur cutting through your tooth that has a nerve in the middle of it, with a machine on the other end of that tool? Human dentists will be around for a long time.

Elrich说

The question must be :

What is cheaper ?

- doctor labor + dental instruments

or

- dental assistant labor + highly specialized surgical robot + cost of maintenance of such a device.
(Just to put in perspective, the Da Vinci surgical robot costs 2 millons $ and 2500$ per intervention, without the cost of labor)

What is however happening is the Radiological interpretation of dental X-rays.

Bella (没有机会)说

Imagine a robot working in your mouth without no liability or sense of emotion. A high risk of malfunction can happen also. It could be automated but would we want it to?

Leopold M Ferenc (极有可能)说

I can visualise a device which is put in the mouth which will scan and 3d fill in decaying section of teeth based on previous historical scans.

Anon (极有可能)说

Extremely easy to replace actually. What’s really required in this that a robot cannot do? Robots have manual dexterity just like robots that sew and do carpentry. They’re already experimenting with using robots in certain surgeries (obviously on decoys) and it’s been very successful and they’re just programmed. Robots remove the chance of human error when working in the mouth. And a robot can easily interpret data on the teeth, that’s just stats and numbers. I think it’s highly likely but also think it can go either way just like anything else.

N (适度)说

Honestly, robots are more precise, and humans can't really top AI. Okay, so let's imagine something, imagine your local dentists' office. All you see are big machines, right? Yep. So just imagine a robot instead of a dentist.

deez (没有机会)说

Dentists are needed to be people as their patients might not like a more mechanical approach to an already mechanical job

donald (极有可能)说

Image recognition and precision work is what robots are good at

Scott (低)说

It will be awhile before robots replace dentists - but it will happen.

T. Fairy (极有可能)说

Dentistry is mainly about image recognition and operating machinery, machines excel at this.

Muddy (没有机会)说

While I can see robots eventually replacing dentists, the degree of analytical creativity and personalized service makes it unlikely within 20 years .

Abdullah (不确定)说

Give Chinese people some time .

eliazk说

I want to be a dentist and I'm so happy
