A computer-implemented method involving obtaining digital representations of a patient's teeth through facial imaging and intraoral scanning. The first segmentation involves obtaining digital representations of teeth from facial images and storing them as a first digital file. The second segmentation involves obtaining digital representations of upper and / or lower teeth from intraoral scans and storing them as a second digital file. These files are aligned and overlaid to create an overlay image that can be modified by a user. The modification is applied to the overlay image while maintaining the coordinates of the modified tooth in both the first and second digital files. This method allows for more efficient and accurate digital representation of a patient's teeth, which can be used for various dental procedures.

A dental robot includes a platform and a suspension system. The suspension system supports the platform and automatically compensates for weights of the platform and a robot arm, end effector, and tooth clamp attached to the platform. The suspension system maintains a constant height of the platform above a base, absent an external force on the tooth clamp. The suspension system allows position and orientation of the platform to change with three degrees of positional freedom and three degrees of rotational freedom, relative to the base, in response to an external force on the tooth clamp, such as a result of movement (change in position and / or orientation) of a subject. A rigid connection between the tooth clamp and the platform ensures that position and orientation of the platform remains fixed, relative to the subject's teeth, in response to movement of the teeth.

A dental procedure performed on target tissue without anesthetic or anesthesia including preconditioning the target tissue using a laser device constructed to produce light in a wavelength range of 2750 nm to 11500 nm, to provide an energy fluence in a range of 50 J / cm2 to 100 J / cm2, and to operate in a free running pulsed mode providing 60 μm bursts at a frequency of at least 50 Hz. Preconditioning includes selecting a combination of average optical output power and preconditioning time to administer low level laser therapy. The laser device is adjusted to deliver light through the light guide of the laser device at the selected average optical output power. Light delivered through the light guide of the adjusted laser device is directed toward the target tissue for the selected preconditioning time providing analgesia to the target tissue. Oral tissue is removed from the preconditioned target tissue during analgesia.

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a dental stabilization device, which prevents the patient from easily releasing the teeth from the device during dental procedures. For this purpose, the inventor proposes a dental stabilization block with an internal channel that opens on the face of the dental stabilization block that contacts the patient's teeth. The internal channel is connected to an inlet through which a bite registration material can be injected, which hardens and molds to the patient's teeth. In this way, it becomes more difficult for the patient to release the teeth from the dental stabilization block when the bite registration material hardens and molds around the teeth.

The dental robot includes a platform and a suspension system. The suspension system supports the platform and automatically compensates for the weight of the platform, as well as the robotic arm, end effector, and tooth clamp attached to it. The suspension system maintains a constant height of the platform above the base when there is no external force on the tooth clamp. The suspension system allows the platform's position and orientation to change relative to the base in response to external forces greater than approximately 0.1 N on the tooth clamp, such as the result of movement of the object (changes in position and / or orientation). As a result, the platform's position and orientation remain fixed relative to the object's teeth in response to tooth movement.

Disclosed herein is an advanced anesthetic gel formulation designed for painless, non-invasive dental procedures. The gel incorporates lidocaine hydrochloride and prilocaine hydrochloride as the primary anesthetics, supported by carbomer 940 for viscosity control. Sodium chloride is added to improve electrical conductivity, while triethanolamine maintains an optimal pH balance. Glycerin functions as a humectant to reduce tissue irritation, and allantoin offers anti-inflammatory properties. Phenoxyethanol is included to prevent microbial growth, ensuring the gel's safety and stability. The preparation method involves dissolving these components in purified water, creating a gel that enables effective, non-invasive dental anesthesia through iontophoresis, significantly enhancing patient comfort and procedural efficiency.
