Abstract in brief

  • The study aims to give dental professionals and researchers an evidence-based overview of robot technology initiatives in dentistry, focusing on the characteristics of relevant literature.
  • A total of 911 articles were initially screened, resulting in 94 articles included for analysis after filtering out non-qualifying studies and performing manual checks.
  • Findings indicate that since 2013, most research has been basic in nature, primarily from East Asia, with low technology readiness levels and a lack of clinical validation, often featuring authors with a non-medical background.
