About
Dr. Hong‐Chang Lai is a leading figure in digital dentistry and implantology, renowned for pioneering the integration of robotics into clinical practice. His primary research focuses on the precision and safety of dental implant placement, with a major contribution being the clinical validation of surgical robots. In his landmark 2023 pilot randomized controlled trial, which has garnered 53 citations, Dr. Lai demonstrated that a haptic and machine-vision-controlled collaborative surgery robot significantly improves the positional accuracy of implants compared to traditional freehand methods. This work not only establishes a new benchmark for minimally invasive, high-precision surgery but also directly addresses critical issues of morbidity and safety in implant procedures. By systematically comparing robotic assistance against conventional techniques, his research provides compelling evidence for the adoption of autonomous systems in dentistry. Dr. Lai’s findings are instrumental for clinicians and researchers seeking to reduce human error and enhance patient outcomes, positioning him at the forefront of the technological transformation in oral rehabilitation.
