Nikos Mattheos

About

Nikos Mattheos is a leading authority in digital implant dentistry, whose research is reshaping how clinicians plan and execute implant surgery. His work centers on the critical evaluation of Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery (CAIS), spanning static, dynamic, and robotic modalities. Mattheos’s major contribution lies in moving the conversation beyond mere technical precision. His highly cited 2023 scoping review (41 citations) established a framework for assessing the accuracy of computer-assisted and robotic implant surgery, while also pioneering the investigation of its educational implications for training clinicians. He has since advanced the field with a landmark 2025 White Paper (14 citations) that synthesizes evidence on the clinically relevant outcomes of CAIS—shifting the focus from "can we place an implant accurately?" to "does this accuracy improve patient outcomes?" His recent reviews critically examine the transformative role of robotic systems in implantology and provide a sobering assessment of where static-CAIS stands today, acknowledging its limitations alongside emerging alternatives. Through this body of work, Mattheos has become a key voice guiding the profession through the rapid digital transformation of implant surgery, ensuring that technological adoption is grounded in robust evidence and educational best practices.
