Abstract :
A general dentist´s clinic needs to deal with a large array of instruments which need to be cleaned, sorted, packaged, sterilized and set up on trays on a daily basis. In order to maximize efficiency, reduce cross contamination, reduce risk of work hazard accidents, and expand areas of service, we have proposed the use of robots and eye tracking technology. Preliminary results seem to suggest that such technologies have the potential of improving the quality of care in a general dentist´s clinic.
