About
Scotty Bolding is a leading researcher in the field of digital dentistry, with a primary focus on the application of haptic robotic guidance for dental implant surgery. His most significant contribution is the rigorous clinical validation of robotic-assisted implant placement, particularly in the challenging context of completely edentulous arches. His landmark 2021 study, which has garnered 152 citations, demonstrated the superior accuracy of haptic robotic guidance over freehand techniques, establishing a new standard for precision in full-arch rehabilitation. Bolding’s work extends beyond accuracy metrics; his preliminary results from a prospective multi-center clinical study (2020) provided early, real-world evidence of the feasibility and safety of this technology in fully edentulous patients. By systematically quantifying the reduction in surgical error and improving predictability, Bolding has directly influenced the adoption of robotic systems in implant dentistry. His research is essential reading for clinicians and engineers seeking to understand the translational impact of haptic feedback and robotic control on surgical outcomes, positioning him as a pivotal figure in the evolution of computer-aided implantology.
