About

Xiaolei Lv is a leading researcher in digital implant dentistry, whose work is revolutionizing how dental implants are placed with precision and predictability. Her primary research areas center on computer-guided surgical techniques, including robotic surgery, dynamic navigation, and static guide technology. Lv’s major contributions include conducting the first randomized controlled trial directly comparing robotic surgery, dynamic navigation, and 3D-printed static guides for implant placement—a landmark study that has already garnered 29 citations since its 2024 publication. This work provides critical evidence that robotic systems offer superior accuracy, setting a new standard for minimally invasive, aesthetically driven implantology. She further advanced the field with a comprehensive systematic review and network meta-analysis (2025) that ranked the positional accuracy of robotic surgery against dynamic navigation, static guides, and freehand techniques, offering clinicians a clear hierarchy of precision. With her research already shaping clinical protocols, Lv’s work is essential reading for any dental professional or student seeking to understand the future of digitally assisted implant surgery. Her findings promise to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes through technology-driven precision.
