An optical coherence tomography scanning system traverses its respective scan pattern quickly, typically completing an entire two-dimensional frame faster than a conventional raster scanner completes one raster line segment. To traverse the scan pattern quickly, the system takes fewer A-scans per length of scan pattern than a conventional OCT scanner. To compensate for the sparsity of the sample points along the respective scan line segments, and for gaps between respective line segments of the trajectory, the system acquires and combines several partially overlapping frames for each study.
An automated dental drill includes a dental drill housing that includes a mouth piece housing section and a one or more degrees of freedom drive housing section; an end effector drive support having a shaft section that is at least partially positioned in the mouth piece housing section, and an end effector for the cutting of a native tooth or dental appliance to a desired tolerance. The end effector is positioned on the end effector drive support. The automated dental drill also includes a power source that drives the end effector and is coupled to the end effector and a one or more degrees of freedom drive assembly to direct the end effector along one or more degrees of freedom relative to the mouth piece housing section.

One aspect provided herein is a computer-implemented method of directing an automated dental drill (ADD) for preparation of a target tooth of a patient for a restoration with a prosthesis by a practitioner, the method comprising: receiving: a prosthesis material comprising material property; an applied bite force; a force limit; a displacement limit; and a three-dimensional (3D) tooth model of the target tooth comprising a removal portion; determining a first 3D preparation geometry and a first 3D prosthesis geometry based on the 3D tooth model and the prosthesis material; performing a finite element analysis (FEA) to determine the forces and displacements, instructing the ADD to cut the target tooth based on the first 3D preparation geometry.
A tooth clamping system for performing a dental procedure, the system comprising: a first chassis: and a second chassis rotatably coupled to the first chassis; wherein the first chassis and the second chassis form a cavity when the system is in a closed state; wherein a proximal portion of the first chassis and a proximal portion of the second chassis form a gantry when the system is in the closed state; and wherein a surface of first chassis, the second chassis, or both, comprise a fiducial.
An automated dental drill includes a dental drill housing that includes a mouthpiece housing section and a one or more degrees of freedom drive housing section; an end effector drive support having a shaft section that is at least partially positioned in the mouthpiece housing section, and an end effector for the cutting of a native tooth or dental appliance to a desired tolerance. The end effector is positioned on the end effector drive support. The automated dental drill also includes a power source that drives the end effector and is coupled to the end effector and a one or more degrees of freedom drive assembly to direct the end effector along one or more degrees of freedom relative to the mouthpiece housing section.
An apparatus and method for automated dental treatment having a tooth clamp (48, 700) which connects an automated dental drill (10). The tooth clamp (700) has a rigid frame (704A, 704B) with a coupling point (703) for reversibly coupling the tooth clamp (700) to an automated dental drill (10) and a pair of jaws (701A, 701B) for coupling the clamp to a tooth of a user. A first jaw surface has a shape adapted to mate the tooth surface and is fabricated based on surface data or a three-dimensional model of the scanned tooth. The tooth clamp (700) has suction ports (702) and the system (900) has irrigation nozzles (903).
An automated dental drill includes a dental drill housing that includes a mouth piece housing section and a one or more degrees of freedom drive housing section; an end effector drive support having a shaft section that is at least partially positioned in the mouth piece housing section, and an end effector for the cutting of a native tooth or dental appliance to a desired tolerance. The end effector is positioned on the end effector drive support. The automated dental drill also includes a power source that drives the end effector and is coupled to the end effector and a one or more degrees of freedom drive assembly to direct the end effector along one or more degrees of freedom relative to the mouth piece housing section.
An apparatus for performing dental surgery includes a central processing unit that controls automated operation of the apparatus and a display that renders an image of a target tooth requiring surgical intervention. The image of a target tooth being created from an image file received from the central processing unit. An input device receives surgical instructions from a user for providing the surgical intervention. The instructions are provided to the central processing unit for process. The surgical instructions include visual indications on the image of a target tooth that is to be treated. A robotic arm that includes an end effector is in communication with the central processing unit. The central processing unit controls the robotic arm to remove a region of the target tooth. The system also simultaneously mills the final tooth restoration in a separate milling chamber.
