A robotic system includes a base, a grounding arm, a working arm, and one or more sensors. The grounding arm extends from the base and is configured to be coupled to a fixed structure within the mouth of the patient for establishing an origin for the robotic system. The working arm extends from the base and is configured to be coupled with one or more tools for use during an installation of a dental implant in the mouth. The one or more sensors are for monitoring positions of the grounding arm and / or the working arm and to generate positional data that is used to create a post-operative virtual three-dimensional model of at least a portion of the mouth of the patient.

The invention relates to a modified Lucas dental curette comprising grooves that allow the formation of sharper, larger teeth and which allow efficient removal of diseased tissue. Specifically, a modification is made to current serrated Lucas curettes (called a Charnley curette in this invention), which comprises cutting grooves or indentations, to form irregular asymmetrical teeth around the entire cup, the cup hollow also being deeper or more pronounced.

A tool for interproximal reduction includes a handpiece and a substantially solid disk-shaped member. The hand tool has a motor coupled to a coupling member. The handpiece is for creating oscillating motion in an oscillation range of 90 degrees or less. The disk-shaped member has a front face and a rear face and defines two or more segments that are different from one another. Each segment has different properties comprising one or more of perforations, cutting surfaces, and abrasives. The disk-shaped member has a centrally disposed aperture for coupling to the handpiece with the coupling member. The properties only partially cover one or more of the front or rear face of the disk. The handpiece is configured to permit a user to position their fingers directly adjacent the dish-shaped member during operation of the handpiece.
