Abstract

A system for performing dental surgery on a subject includes a central processing unit that controls automated operation of the system and a display that renders an image of a target tooth requiring surgical intervention. The image of a target tooth is created from an image file received from the central processing unit. An input device receives surgical instructions from a user for providing thesurgical intervention with the surgical instructions being subsequently received by the central processing unit. The surgical instructions include visual indications on the image of a target tooth that are to be treated. The system also includes a segmented dental handpiece that has a first segment attached to a second segment. The second segment is attached to a dental drill head and is movable with respect to the first segment under control of the central processing unit. The first segment can be held stationary relative to the target tooth by an operator. Characteristically, the dental drill head includes a dental burr protruding therefro7m. The system also includes a three-dimensional (3D) vision system that includes a plurality of cameras attached to the segmented dental handpiece. The plurality of cameras provides two dimensional images and/or live video of a subject's teeth to be mapped to a predetermined 3D surface scan of a surgical site thereby establishing a world coordinatesystem to which the segmented dental handpiece is registered.
