About
Yanfeng Li is an emerging pioneer in the field of autonomous robotic dental surgery, with research concentrated at the cutting-edge intersection of surgical robotics and implantology. Li's work focuses specifically on zygomatic implant placement — a technically demanding procedure used to restore function in patients with severe maxillary bone atrophy — and the integration of robotic systems to improve precision and clinical outcomes in this challenging domain. Li's most significant contributions center on developing and validating both fully autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic techniques for zygomatic implant surgery. Through a combination of landmark clinical cases and rigorous in vitro studies, Li has demonstrated the viability, feasibility, and accuracy of task-autonomous robotic systems in real-world dental surgical contexts. Notably, the 2023 clinical case study documenting an autonomous robotic system successfully placing zygomatic implants with an immediately loaded full-arch prosthesis represents a groundbreaking proof of concept for the field. With a combined citation count surpassing 88 across four publications — all released within a single year — Li's influence is rapidly growing. This concentrated productivity signals a researcher positioned to shape the future of robotic-assisted oral and maxillofacial surgery in the years ahead.
