Abstract

A measurement setup is proposed that, for the first time, is capable of capturing the combination of high forces and subtle movements exerted during tooth removal procedures in high detail and in a reproducible manner by using robot technology. The outcomes of a design process from a collaboration between clinicians, mechanical and software engineers together with first results are presented in this proof of concept.
