• (B2) a second mounting rod, that is integrally connected to said dental treatment chair;
• a second camera which is a dental assistant oriented camera, that is mounted on said second mounting rod, and is configured to be oriented generally towards an upper body of said dental assistant, and is configured to capture real-time video of the upper body of said dental assistant;
• (B3) a third mounting rod, that is integrally connected to said dental treatment chair;
• a third camera which is a patient-face oriented camera, that is mounted on said third mounting rod, and is configured to be oriented generally towards a face of said dental treatment patient, and is configured to capture real-time video of the face of said dental treatment patient;
• (B4) a fourth mounting rod, that is integrally connected to said dental treatment chair;
• a fourth camera which is patient-body oriented camera, that is mounted on said fourth mounting rod, and is configured to be oriented generally towards a torso and legs of said dental treatment patient, and is configured to capture real-time video of the torso and legs of said dental treatment patient;
• (B5) a fifth mounting rod, that is integrally connected to said dental treatment chair;
• a fifth camera which is an office-oriented camera, that is mounted on said fifth mounting rod, and is configured to be oriented generally towards a field-of-view that comprises a majority of said dentist office that includes said dental treatment chair and said dentist and said dental assistant;
• wherein the fifth camera is configured to capture real-time video of said majority of said dentist office;
• (C) a first Computerized Vision unit, that is implemented using at least a first hardware processor and a first memory unit;
• wherein the first Computerized Vision unit is configured:
• (C1) to receive real-time video from the first camera;
• (C2) to receive real-time video from the second camera;
• (C3) to receive real-time video from the third camera;
• (C4) to receive real-time video from the fourth camera;
• (C5) to receive real-time video from the fifth camera;
• (C6) to perform computerized vision analysis of the real-time video from the first camera and the real-time video from the second camera and the real-time video from the third camera and the real-time video from the fourth camera and the real-time video from the fifth camera;
• (D) a second Computerized Vision unit, that is implemented using at least a second hardware processor and a second memory unit;
• wherein the second Computerized Vision unit is configured:
• (D1) to receive real-time video from the first camera;
• (D2) to receive real-time video from the second camera;
• (D3) to receive real-time video from the third camera;
• (D4) to receive real-time video from the fourth camera;
• (D5) to receive real-time video from the fifth camera;
• (D6) to perform computerized vision analysis of the real-time video from the first camera and the real-time video from the second camera and the real-time video from the third camera and the real-time video from the fourth camera and the real-time video from the fifth camera;
• (D7) based on said computerized vision analysis of (D6), to recognize that a particular step in said dental procedure is occurring, and to generate a Current Step Estimation Signal indicating which step in said dental procedure is estimated to be currently occurring based on computerized vision analysis;
• (E) a Progress Display Unit, comprising a digital screen that is that is integrally connected to said dental treatment chair via a sixth mounting rod;
• wherein said Progress Display Unit is oriented to be in a field-of-view of a said dental treatment patient;
• (F) a Current-Step Detector Unit, implemented by utilizing at least a third hardware processor and a third memory unit;
• wherein the Current-Step Detector Unit is configured,
• (F1) to determine a current step of the dental procedure, based at least on:
• (i) the Current Step Estimation Signal that was generated by the second Computerized Vision unit based on computerized vision analysis of real-time video from the first camera and the second camera and the third camera and the fourth camera and the fifth camera, and also, (ii) a multiple-step dental treatment plan that is pre-defined for said dental procedure and that indicates a series of planned consecutive steps of said dental procedure;
• (F2) to determine a current Progress Percentage Value, in a range of 0 to 100 percent, indicating an estimated percentage of said dental procedure that has been completed;
• (F3) a Progress Bar Generator Unit, to generate a graphical representation of a progress bar corresponding to said current Progress Percentage Value.
