Montpellier, February 7th, 2025 – Lupin Dental SAS, an early-stage company focusing on innovative dental technology, is proud to announce the successful first clinical use of the Lupin® Dental Robotic System at Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) Dental College and Hospital, Pune.
Lupin Dental conducting a post-market clinical study in India to demonstrate the safety and performance of its dental robotic system for minimally invasive tooth preparation procedures for aesthetic veneers. The trial is ongoing, with six patients successfully treated.
The team of Bharati Vidyapeeth University Dental College and Hospital, Pune, Dr Vijaysinh More (Principle Investigator), Dr Pankaj Kadam, Dr Santosh Jadhav, Dr Yogesh Khadtare (Co-Investigator) and Dr Sarah Mariam (Clinical Research Coordinator) are conducting this trial.
Today marks a pivotal step forward for us, says the Co-founder Galip Gürel. “The extreme precision and the repeatability of the system is providing the most minimally invasive tooth preparation for veneer treatments, one of the most challenging procedures in the field of aesthetic dentistry and democratizing this complex procedure for dentists at all levels”.
Minimally invasive restorative dentistry techniques offer numerous advantages which contribute to improved long-term stability and durability of dental restorations.
“This was one of the most exciting days in the history of dentistry” said the Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer Stefen Koubi. “The efficiency of the workflow enables a single treatment appointment, positively redefining the patient’s experience and increasing the productivity for the dentist.”
Dr.Vijaysinh More, Clinical Trial Principal Investigator, Bharati Vidyapeeth University commented: “The Lupin Robotic System’s minimally invasive tooth preparation approach, and unique precision, executes exactly what is planned virtually; with optimized handpiece angulation, preserving the maximum enamel and therefore ensuring a very good bonding protocol.”
About Lupin Dental
Lupin Dental SAS is a pioneering company specializing in cutting-edge dental robotics, headquartered in Montpellier, France. Lupin Dental was founded by two of the world’s most renowned and respected dentists in the field of aesthetic dentistry, Dr Galip Gurel & Dr Stefen Koubi. Lupin Dental was founded to bring the benefits of technology to veneers and other complex dental treatments.
The Lupin® Robotic System is a supervised robotic system, with automation features, for minimally invasive tooth preparation procedures for aesthetic veneers. The system comprises of a software suite to design a patient’s final smile and generate the required tooth preparation treatment plan. The robotic workstation then precisely executes the treatment plan to ensure that the patient’s tooth is accurately prepared to receive the final dental restoration (“prosthesis”).
The Lupin® Robotic System is approved for clinical use in India. The Lupin® Robotic System is not currently approved for clinical use in USA or EU.
As part of Lupin Dental’s continued commitment to innovation, the company plans to expand partnerships with leading academic and medical institutions, as well as dental professionals, including individual dentists and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), to support the widespread adoption of its robotic technology.
About Minimally Invasive Tooth Preparation
Minimally invasive restorative dentistry techniques offer numerous advantages over traditional approaches. These include preserving a healthy tooth structure, prioritizing the conservation of natural tooth material, and reducing the need for extensive tooth preparation, which collectively can contribute to improved long-term stability and durability of restorations.
Minimally invasive tooth preparation is challenging for the dentist, requiring precise tooth reduction of fractions of a millimeter. The use of automation in tooth preparation execution enables highly precise preparation, allowing dentists to produce the final laminate veneers in advance. This allows the dentist to prepare the tooth and bond the final laminate veneer in a single treatment appointment, avoiding the need for the dentist to create a temporary restoration and thereby avoiding the need for the patient to make further visits.
