About

Dr. Regina Walher is a leading researcher at the forefront of digital dentistry and computer-assisted oral surgery. Her work centers on the precision and clinical translation of high-tech procedures for dental implantology, with a particular focus on robot-guided laser osteotomy. In her highly cited 2025 study, "Accuracy evaluation of robot-guided laser osteotomy for dental implant bed preparation," Dr. Walher provided critical validation for a transformative surgical approach. By systematically comparing the accuracy and reproducibility of this digital workflow against conventional surgical guides, she demonstrated that robot-guided laser systems can achieve superior precision in implant bed preparation. This contribution is foundational for facilitating the safe transition from manual, guide-dependent techniques to fully digital, automated planning and execution systems. Her research directly addresses a key barrier to clinical adoption—the need for rigorous, evidence-based accuracy evaluations. With her work already garnering citations, Dr. Walher is establishing herself as a pivotal figure in the evolution of minimally invasive, high-precision oral surgery, shaping the future of implant dentistry through rigorous technological assessment.
