About

Maurizio S. Tonetti stands at the forefront of surgical robotics in implant dentistry, pioneering the integration of haptic control and machine vision technologies into clinical dental practice. His research focuses on robotic-assisted dental implant placement, surgical accuracy, and the translational application of collaborative robots (cobots) in oral surgery — a field he has helped move from theoretical promise to clinical reality. Tonetti's most influential contributions include landmark studies demonstrating that haptic- and machine-vision-controlled cobots significantly outperform freehand techniques in implant positioning accuracy while maintaining comparable safety profiles. His 2023 translational study (75 citations) and accompanying pilot randomized controlled trial (53 citations) established foundational evidence for robotic surgery's clinical viability. Building on this, his systematic review and meta-analysis (38 citations) synthesized global evidence, providing the field with its most rigorous accuracy benchmarks to date. A further randomized controlled trial directly comparing robotic systems, dynamic navigation, and static surgical guides (29 citations) has become an essential reference for clinicians selecting guidance technologies. With nearly 200 citations accumulated across just four recent papers, Tonetti's work is rapidly reshaping evidence-based standards in implant surgery, making him an indispensable voice in the digital transformation of modern dentistry.
