“…This scoping review provides an overview of the current state of robotics in dentistry, with articles that are not directly related to dentistry being excluded from the review. The development of dental robots is mainly focused on by university research grou ps [19][20][21][22]61,63,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][103][104][105][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120]...…”

“…Regarding the development stage, 40% of studies are included in the clinical application stage. If those commercial industrial robotic arms are excluded, only a small proportion of robots have been applied in clinical practice [64,[85][86][87][88][89][90][99][100][101][102]107,108,[114][115][116][117][118][119]. This indicates that the number of studies with lower levels of technical development is fewer than those with higher levels of technical development, which is not conducive to long-term progress.…”

“…Takanishi et al began to develop the Waseda Yamanashi (WY) series in the mid-1990s as a platform for treating masticatory dyskinesia and an instrument for oral rehabilitation training; it has undergone upgradation from WY-1 to WY-5R during 1995-1999 [114][115][116][117]. Subsequently, the Waseda Asahi oral-rehabilitation robot was developed to provide appropriate massage therapy for maxillofacial disorders such as temporomandibular joint disorders and dry mouth, as well as for the elderly [118,119].…”

The term "robot" originates from the Slavic root "robot-", which means labor. The Czech writer Karel Čapek used the term to signify artificial human bodies without souls in his classic 1921 play Rossum's Universal Robots [1]. Along with other important discoveries and inventions, such as X-rays and quantum and relativity theories, the term "robot" became the cornerstone of the rise of modernism in the arts and sciences [2]. However, there is no unified definition of "robotics" in academic fields. People continue to endow it with more profound and broader meanings with the development of applications in various fields. In this review, we define robotics as a field of reprogrammable, multifunctional, multipurpose, and versatile systems intelligently linking sensing to action [3].Generally, robots can be classified based on their level of autonomy into three categories: active, semi-active, and masterslave. They can also be classified based on the type of material into two categories: hard and soft. Active systems work autonomously and undertake pre-programmed tasks, while semi-active systems allow surgeons to provide guidance and assistance to these preprogrammed robotic systems, like telerobots. Master-slave systems lack pre-programming and depend entirely on the operations of surgeons. Examples of such systems are described later in the review [4]. In terms of material, traditional (i.e., hard) robots are made of rigid hard materials, while soft robots designed to imitate the biological system in nature are made of flexible soft materials, which allow for greater flexibility, adaptability, freedom, and stronger deformation ability. Their application in the medical field also makes the interaction between the robotic system and humans more secure[3].While robots have been in the industry for several decades, their application in medicine only began in the 1990s. The first recorded medical application of a robot was in 1985 when it was used to place a needle for a brain biopsy under the guidance of computed tomography [5]. The first successful surgical robot to be applied clinically was developed in the United States [6]. Since robots are advantageous over humans in terms of accuracy, stability, safety, high dexterity, and reduction of doctors' fatigue, they have become widely used in many medical fields currently [7,8], especially in laparoscopic surgery in urology and cardiac surgery [9]. However, the application of robots in dentistry has been introduced much later compared to medicine. The introduction of new J Prosthodont Res. 2023; **(**): ****-****

It is widely acknowledged that with the rapid development of digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI), robots are increasingly being applied across various fields, significantly driving interdisciplinary collaboration. A scoping review recently published in the Journal of Prosthodontic Research [1] observed that the range of robots, both in current and potential clinical applications, encompasses various dental fields, including oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral implantology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial radiology, and dental public health.
