Intraoperative Efficiency in Dental Implant Surgery:
Power of Robotics vs. Freehand Placement
November 18 at 8 PM EST (5 PM PST)
Presented by: Dr. Bruce Smoler
Explore how haptic robotic guidance is transforming dental implant workflows. In this multi-site clinical study of 83 patients (171 implants), researchers compared traditional freehand implant placement with robotic-assisted procedures for both partial- and full-arch cases.
Learn how robotics can significantly reduce osteotomy and implantation times, improve workflow efficiency, and maintain high accuracy and precision—all without disrupting the standard surgical process. This webinar will break down the clinical workflow, timing data, and practical implications for integrating robotic guidance into everyday implant dentistry.
Learning Objectives:
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain the impact of haptic robotics on workflow efficiency in both partial- and full-arch dental implant cases compared to freehand placement.
- Identify the key advantages and limitations of robotic guidance versus traditional static guides and freehand techniques.
- Evaluate clinical data on surgical timing and efficiency for osteotomy and implant placement using robotics.
- Discuss how robotic systems can integrate into a general practice workflow to improve precision, reduce chair time, and enhance patient outcomes.
