This project aims to develop a miniaturized high-precision laser robotic device that can fit comfortably in the mouth to perform pain-free, vibration-free dental operations by utilising silicon-carbide on silicon technology to create a millimetre-sized two-axis controllable, highly-reflective mirror robust to high-power ultra-short laser pulses. This project expects to generate new knowledge in micro-mirror control using optically excited piezo-resistive sensors, and cold femtosecond laser ablation of hard dental tissue. Expected outcomes include a working prototype for laser removal of tooth materials at speeds exceeding dental drills, providing benefits in miniaturized laser devices and ultimately removing pain from dental procedures.

该项目旨在开发一种小型化的高精度激光机器人设备，该设备可以舒适地安装在口腔中，通过利用硅上碳化硅技术来创建一个毫米大小的双轴可控，高反射镜坚固耐用的高功率超短激光脉冲来执行无痛，无振动的牙科手术。该项目预计将产生新的知识，微镜控制使用光激励压阻传感器，冷飞秒激光烧蚀硬牙组织。预期成果包括一个工作原型，用于以超过牙科钻头的速度激光去除牙齿材料，提供小型激光设备的好处，并最终消除牙科手术的疼痛。
