Dental 4 Less – An army of micro-robots can wipe out dental plaque.

A swarm of micro-robots, directed by magnets, can break apart and remove dental biofilm, or plaque, from a tooth. The innovation arose from a cross-disciplinary partnership among dentists, biologists, and engineers. A team of engineers, dentists, and biologists from the University of Pennsylvania developed a microscopic robotic cleaning crew. With two types of robotic systems — one designed to work on surfaces and the other to operate inside confined spaces — the scientists showed that robots with catalytic activity could ably destroy biofilms. Such robotic biofilm-removal systems could be valuable in many potential applications, from keeping water pipes and catheters clean to reduce the risk of tooth decay, endodontic infections, and implant contamination.
