About

June-Sung Shim is a leading figure in the advancement of computer-assisted dental implant surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic and navigational technologies. His major contributions lie in rigorously comparing the accuracy of emerging surgical systems against established methods. In a pivotal 2022 pilot study, he demonstrated that robot-guided implant surgery achieves superior spatial precision compared to traditional static surgical guides, a finding that has garnered over 10 citations and signals a paradigm shift in clinical practice. Earlier, his comprehensive 2018 review systematically evaluated the landscape of computer-assisted techniques—from guided templates to navigation systems and early-stage robots—establishing a foundational framework for the field with over 8 citations. By quantifying the tangible benefits of robotic assistance, Shim’s work provides critical evidence for surgeons transitioning to digital workflows, directly impacting the future of minimally invasive, high-accuracy implantology. His research is essential reading for clinicians and engineers seeking to understand the trajectory of automation in oral surgery.
