About

R. Mocan is a leading researcher at the forefront of digital dentistry, specializing in the integration of robotics, computer vision, and real-time navigation to revolutionize dental implant surgery. Their work directly addresses the critical challenge of achieving sub-millimeter accuracy in implant placement, a key factor in the 90–95% long-term success rate of modern implants. Mocan’s major contributions include the development of a vision-guided robotic system for safe implant surgery (2024, 13 citations), which provides a foundational framework for automated procedures. They have also conducted a pivotal systematic review (2025, 6 citations) comparing the accuracy of robot-assisted, dynamic navigation, static-template, and freehand techniques, offering crucial evidence for clinical decision-making. Further advancing the field, Mocan pioneered a real-time motion compensation system (2025, 5 citations) that dynamically adjusts for patient movement, overcoming a major limitation of conventional static-head navigation. This body of work, though early in its citation lifecycle, demonstrates a clear trajectory toward making implant surgery safer, more predictable, and more accessible, establishing Mocan as a rising authority in computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS).
