Abstract

Recently, robotics has found a new field of research in surgery in which it is used as an assistant of the surgeon in order to promote less traumatic surgery and minimal incision of soft tissue. In accordance with the requirements of dental surgeons, we offer a robotic system dedicated to dental implants. A dental implant is a mechanical device fixed into the patient’s jaw. It is used to replace a single tooth or a set of missing teeth. Fitting the implant is a difficult operation that requires great accuracy. This work concerns the prototype of a medical robot. Forward and inverse kinematics as dynamics are considered in order to drive a control algorithm which is as accurate and safe as possible.
