Abstract

The field of implant dentistry has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, with robotics emerging as a promising technology to enhance precision, predictability, and patient outcomes. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of robotics in implant dentistry, exploring its applications, benefits, and limitations. We delve into the various robotic systems available, discussing their functionalities, surgical workflows, and clinical integration. The paper examines the advantages of roboticassisted implant surgery, including improved accuracy in implant placement, reduced invasiveness, and the potential for enhanced osseointegration. We also address the challenges associated with the adoption of robotic technology, such as cost, learning curve, and the need for robust validation studies. Furthermore, this paper explores the future prospects of robotics in implant dentistry, highlighting potential advancements in areas such as haptic feedback, AI integration, and the development of more versatile and affordable robotic platforms. We discuss the potential for robotics to personalize implant procedures, optimize treatment planning, and ultimately improve the standard of care for patients requiring dental implants. The integration of robotics with other cutting-edge technologies, like AI and virtual reality, is also considered, paving the way for a future where implant surgery becomes increasingly precise, predictable, and patient-centric.
