About
Xunning Cao is a pioneering researcher in the field of digital dentistry and robotic-assisted oral surgery. His work centers on developing and validating robotic systems for precise dental procedures, including implant placement, crown lengthening, and porcelain veneer preparation. Cao’s major contributions include the creation of novel calibration methods that integrate cone beam computed tomography with intraoral scanner data, significantly improving the accuracy of robot-assisted implant placement. His 2024 study on this calibration method has already garnered 11 citations, highlighting its immediate impact. He also demonstrated the feasibility of semi-active robotic systems for esthetic zone procedures, such as crown lengthening and veneer tooth preparation, achieving high precision with minimal invasiveness. Notably, his 2025 research on robotic preparation of guiding planes for removable partial dentures opens new avenues for prosthodontic automation. With a growing body of work that consistently pushes the boundaries of robotic precision in dentistry, Cao is establishing himself as a key innovator in translating engineering solutions into clinical practice, promising safer and more predictable outcomes for patients.
