About

Benxiang Hou is a pioneering researcher in the field of endodontics, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted microsurgery. His major contributions center on the development and clinical application of robotic systems to solve traditionally intractable problems in root canal treatment. Notably, his work demonstrates how robotic assistance can precisely locate and treat calcified root canals, as well as remove fractured endodontic files that have migrated beyond the apical foramen—a complication that often requires invasive surgery. His 2025 case report on locating a calcified root canal with robotic assistance has already garnered 13 citations, while his clinical report on robot-assisted removal of a fractured file has received 9 citations, reflecting the immediate impact and interest in his innovative approach. By combining precision engineering with clinical dentistry, Hou is advancing the frontier of minimally invasive endodontic surgery, offering solutions that reduce trauma and improve outcomes for patients with complex root canal pathologies. His work represents a significant step toward the integration of robotics into routine dental microsurgery.
