About
Dr. Hongchang Lai is a leading researcher in the field of dental implantology, with a specific focus on the integration of advanced robotics and digital technologies into clinical practice. His work centers on the development and validation of novel surgical systems to enhance the precision, safety, and predictability of implant placement. A major contribution is his pioneering translational research on collaborative robots (cobots) for dental surgery, as exemplified by his highly cited 2023 study (75 citations). This work demonstrated the superior accuracy and safety of a haptic-operated, machine vision-controlled cobot compared to traditional static and dynamic navigation, addressing a critical limitation in current computer-aided implant surgery. By rigorously evaluating this emerging technology, Dr. Lai is helping to define the next generation of minimally invasive, robot-assisted dentistry. His research has significant implications for improving patient outcomes and expanding the capabilities of clinicians, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of digital and robotic workflows in oral implantology.
