Tooth Extraction Matt Pinilla, Ryan Verhoest, and Vincent Guariglia

planning Someone is coming in for a tooth ache. We need to check the tooth to see if it must be extracted. -Matt Pinilla

research A tooth that is severely damaged may need to be removed. A surgeon who specializes in surgeries of the mouth may remove this tooth -Ryan Verhoest

research Through our extensive research, we have discovered that there are many diverse methods to extract a tooth. However, the simplest of them all is to simply put pressure on the tooth and pull it out by scooping it from behind the tooth. With a dose of nova cane, it is quick and painless to the patient. -Matt Pinilla

development First our robot moves to the gum. Then the sensor scans the tooth for any decay or damage. If the value of the reading is less than the robot pulls the tooth out. If the value is more than the robot moves backwards. -Ryan Verhoest

Evaluation Out of all our steps, the robot has performed exceptionally in all of its 7 trials Out of its 7 trials, the robot successfully performed the program 6 times Improvement: When it senses a healthy tooth, it moves forward a little too far. Minimizing this would make the surgery a little more smoother -Matt Pinilla and Ryan Verhoest
