About

Shengchi Fan is a leading researcher at the forefront of digital dentistry, specializing in the integration of robotics and computer-assisted technologies for oral implantology. His work centers on developing and validating surgical robotic systems to enhance the precision and safety of complex implant procedures, particularly in challenging anatomical cases. Fan’s major contributions include pioneering the application of robotics for zygomatic implant placement, a high-risk alternative to massive bone grafting in severely atrophic maxillae. His 2019 pilot study on a surgical robot system for this procedure, cited 81 times, demonstrated a novel method to mitigate surgical risks through real-time navigation. He further advanced the field by developing an automatic robot-world calibration technique for optical-navigated systems, achieving 43 citations for improving intraoperative accuracy. Fan’s most impactful work, “Robotics in Dental Implantology” (2019), has garnered 162 citations, establishing a foundational review of the field. His recent 2025 publication critically assesses the current state of static computer-assisted implant surgery, highlighting its limitations and the promising alternatives of dynamic and robotic systems. Through these contributions, Fan is shaping the next generation of minimally invasive, high-precision implant dentistry.
