Description
Yingman Liu and nine co-authors report, in two thousand twenty-six, a pilot test of a new way to save teeth judged hopeless from gum disease. Rather than pull and discard such teeth, the plan takes each tooth out, cleans it, and puts it back. A robot helps reshape the socket so the tooth fits well.
Scans fed a robotic system that planned each case before surgery. Out of the mouth, the root was cleaned and its canal was sealed from the tip end. The tooth then went back into the reshaped socket and was tied to nearby teeth. At three months, bleeding and swelling had eased and pockets were shallower. The teeth felt firm and worked well with new veneer fronts.
