The successful application of robots in surgery and other medical fields pr
ompts us that robots can also play an important role in oral restoration. T
he traditional way of complete denture manufacturing is manual and only hig
h-level dentists and skilled technicians can do this work well. But we beli
eve that a robot can do this work better and more easily. Artificial teeth
are very complicated in shape, and not easy to be grasped and manipulated a
ccurately by a robot gripper. Aiming at improving our previous robot manufa
cturing system of complete dentures, we present a new method to perform tee
th implanting. We improve the previous manufacturing procedure by adding se
veral components in the operating process. By this method, the robot grippe
r only needs to grasp and implant intermediate blocks, which have very simp
le shapes and are easy to handle precisely. The 3D human-machine tooth arra
ngement software performs the calculation of intermediate blocks' positions
and orientations. We perform the experiment of tooth arrangement for a pat
ient, and obtain a pair of ideal tooth arches. A complete denture can be ma
nufactured according to this result.
