Autonomous Dental Implant Robotic System Utilization for Implant Placement and Transcrestal Sinus Elevation Using Osseodensification: A Case Report.

This article focuses on the clinical application of an autonomous dental implant robotic system combined with osseodensification (OD) for implant placement and transcrestal maxillary sinus elevation. It presents a one-year follow-up case report of a 40-year-old patient treated with the YakeBot Dental Implant Robot System, which operates at Level 2 autonomy—performing operator-initiated tasks automatically under surgeon supervision. The report details the digital workflow, surgical procedure, and postoperative outcomes, demonstrating high accuracy in implant positioning (shoulder deviation 0.28 mm, angular deviation 0.7°) and successful sinus elevation without membrane perforation, using OD burs to enhance bone density and primary stability. While highlighting the potential of autonomous robotics to improve precision and efficiency in implant dentistry, the article also notes current limitations such as operator training requirements, cost, and the need for further research on long-term reliability and patient-reported outcomes.
