About
Junyu Shi is an emerging force in the field of digital and robotic implant dentistry, whose research is reshaping how surgeons approach the precision and safety of dental implant placement. His work centers on the development and clinical validation of collaborative robots — or "cobots" — that integrate haptic feedback and machine vision to guide implant surgery with unprecedented accuracy. His landmark 2023 translational study (75 citations) demonstrated the foundational accuracy and safety of this technology, while a companion randomized controlled trial (53 citations) provided the first robust clinical evidence comparing robot-assisted to freehand placement. Shi has further contextualized these advances through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including a 2024 study (38 citations) synthesizing robotic accuracy across the literature and a landmark randomized trial directly benchmarking robotic surgery against dynamic navigation and static guides (29 citations). His most recent network meta-analysis synthesizes evidence across all major guided implant modalities, offering clinicians a comprehensive treatment hierarchy. Collectively, his work has accumulated nearly 200 citations in just a few years, establishing him as a leading voice in evidence-based surgical robotics within oral and maxillofacial medicine.
