Abstract
Nowadays, robotics plays a vital role in medical applications, especially in dentistry, where robots can track oral hygiene and perform dental surgeries. Dental implant replacement is one of the most challenging issues in dental surgery; quality procedures and safety measures need to be considered during this process. Manual dental implant is usually incapable to reach the satisfactory levels of accuracy and safety. In addition, it requires well-trained dentists and consumes a long time. Therefore, robot-assisted surgery systems are of utmost importance for dental implant placement as they can maintain higher level of dental examination precision and safety. More specifically, robotic arms can be manufactured with intelligent models for drilling identified locations in teeth. These intelligent robots have a high degree of autonomy, can automatically adjust during intraoperative procedures, and can execute dental surgical tasks directly on patients without any apparent control by a surgeon. In this article, we propose a novel approach to develop a robot-assisted intelligent system that improves the efficiency of dental implant process based on Guided Local Search with Continuous Time Neural Network (GLCTNN). Firstly, dental facts are collected from PubMed articles and Maryland school children datasets. Secondly, using the collected facts, an intelligent robot-assisted model based on GLCTNN is developed. The second step comprises data preprocessing to remove unsolicited details, extracting useful features from the clean data, and utilizing the extracted features to train the GLCTNN model. The proposed system recognizes the implantation location with high accuracy and maximizes implantation rate. The efficiency of the system is evaluated using experimental analysis at lab scale. The proposed GLCTNN-based approach ensures maximum average accuracy (99.5%) and minimum average deviation error (0.323) compared to W-J48, Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighboring (KNN), Nearest Neighbors with Structural Risk Minimization (NNSRM) and Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) approaches.
Highlights
According to several statistics of dental care, millions of people were affected by tooth decay, tooth loss, injuries and periodontal disease [1]

The results show that GLCTNN approach attains the minimum average error rate (0.323%) compared to all other approaches which are W-J48 (0.434%), NB (0.452%), SVM (0.379%), KNN (0.363%), NNSRM (0.428%) and GRNN (0.35%); these error rates are shown in figure 3
Summary
According to several statistics of dental care, millions of people were affected by tooth decay, tooth loss, injuries and periodontal disease [1]. Dental implant is the process of tooth root replacement in which a strong foundation is provided to the teeth that helps match with the natural tooth [2]. During this process, an artificial tooth root similar to the natural tooth is placed on the jawbone. The jawbone is the base for the crown or artificial teeth; a connector or abutment is placed on the dental implant top for supporting the crown [3]. In 1951, American Academy of Implant Dentistry presented the implantology knowledge to share their experience of the dental implants and improve implant
