Recently, the number of people of dentists increases every year. However, the lack of skills of graduates of schools of dentistry is obvious. The problem seems to lie in the fact that the dentists have no sufficient experience of treating patients. The present study was made in order to develop a patient-robot for use in an actual clinical training. The patient has the possibility of making an unexpected motion while treating. This motion often surprises the dentist. Therefore, it is important to develop a leg of the patient-robot so that the development of the whole body motion may make the patient-robot more like a real patient. Moreover, a new interface was made to automate the practice to make it possible for the supervisor doctor to easily operate the patient-robot while practicing. Concretely, the patient-robot can return the automatic motion by adding the function of the pain-sensitivity with a pressure sensor and a voice recognition.Keywords: Patient robot, Odontology department, Medical treatment welfare
