About
Dr. Mei Fu is a pioneering clinician-researcher at the forefront of digital and robotic applications in endodontic microsurgery. Her primary research focuses on the precision management of complex endodontic complications, particularly the removal of fractured instruments and the integration of advanced technologies to enhance surgical outcomes. Dr. Fu’s most notable contribution is the first reported clinical use of robot-assisted endodontic microsurgery to remove a fractured file that had extended beyond the apical foramen—a procedure traditionally fraught with risk and imprecision. This landmark work, published in 2025 and already garnering 9 citations, demonstrates a significant leap in minimally invasive, accurate surgical intervention. By merging robotics with microsurgical techniques, Dr. Fu is establishing new standards for safety and predictability in challenging root canal retreatments. Her innovative approach not only addresses a long-standing clinical dilemma but also opens the door for broader robotic applications in dentistry. For students and researchers, Dr. Fu’s work exemplifies how translational technology can solve real-world surgical problems, making her a key figure to watch in the evolution of digital endodontics.
