About
Dr. Wenan Xu is pioneering the clinical translation of robotic-assisted computer-aided implant surgery (r-CAIS), with a focused expertise in solving the most challenging scenarios in implant dentistry. Their major contributions lie in rigorously validating the accuracy and feasibility of robotic systems for procedures previously considered high-risk for automation. Notably, Dr. Xu’s work demonstrates that r-CAIS can achieve high precision for immediate implant placement in posterior teeth—a technically demanding procedure—and for transalveolar sinus floor elevation, where they also assessed the critical outcome of membrane perforation. Further extending the technology’s reach, they have shown the utility of robotic assistance in the anatomically constrained second molar region, employing innovative step drills and manual-automatic switching functions. With a rapidly growing body of work accumulating over 15 citations in just two years (2024–2025), Dr. Xu is establishing the evidence base that could make robotic surgery a standard of care for complex oral implantology, directly improving patient outcomes through enhanced accuracy and reduced surgical risk.
