1. A system for performing a dental procedure comprising:
a hand piece including a robot arm that extends along a first axis;
said robot arm comprising a first shaft that extends along the first axis, wherein said first shaft has a proximal end, a distal end, and a first shaft elongated conduit that extends along the first axis from the proximal end to the distal end of said first shaft;
said robot arm comprising a second shaft that extends along the first axis and that is disposed within the first conduit of said first shaft, wherein said second shaft has a proximal end, a distal end, and a second shaft elongated conduit that extends along the first axis from the proximal end to the distal end of said second shaft;
said robot arm comprising a third shaft that extends along the first axis and that is disposed within the second shaft elongated conduit of said second shaft, wherein said third shaft has a proximal end and a distal end;
said hand piece including a turret that is rotatable within a first plane, wherein said robot arm is mounted atop said turret and rotates simultaneously with said turret;
a medical tool coupled with the respective distal ends of said first, second and third shafts;
a first motor coupled with said first shaft for extending and retracting said first shaft and said medical tool along the first axis;
a second motor coupled with said first shaft for rotating said first shaft and said medical tool around the first axis;
a third motor coupled with said turret for moving said first shaft and said medical device to the left and the right within the first plane;
a fourth motor coupled with said second shaft for extending and retracting said second shaft along the first axis for tilting said medical tool up and down relative to the first axis;
a fifth motor coupled with said third shaft for extending and retracting said third shaft along the first axis, which, in turn, moves said medical device up and down along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis.
