About

Dr. Kengliang Lan is a leading innovator in the field of digital dentistry, with a primary research focus on robotic-assisted dental implant surgery. His most significant contribution is the development and validation of a novel image-guided hybrid robotic system for dental implant surgery (HRS-DIS), which integrates a 5-degree-of-freedom serial manipulator with a 6-degree-of-freedom Stewart platform for unprecedented precision. In his landmark 2022 in vitro study, which has garnered 44 citations, Lan demonstrated that this hybrid system achieves exceptionally high accuracy in implant placement, significantly reducing the margin of error compared to conventional freehand methods. This work addresses a critical challenge in implantology—the need for minimally invasive, highly predictable outcomes. Lan’s research is pivotal in advancing the transition from static surgical guides to dynamic, real-time robotic assistance, promising to enhance surgical safety and patient outcomes. His achievements position him as a key figure in the emerging field of surgical robotics for dentistry, with his work frequently cited by peers exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, imaging, and mechatronics in oral surgery.
