Robotic osteotomy may better match root geometry

The autonomous approach reduced deep positional errors and over-removal, with greater gains in double-rooted models.

    An autonomous robotic osteotomy system may more accurately reproduce planned socket geometry for tooth autotransplantation than static guide-assisted preparation.

  • 2

    Robot-assisted preparation reduced mean apex deviation to 0.94 mm compared to 1.96 mm with static guide-assisted preparation.

  • 3

    The robotic approach showed significant advantages in angular deviation, with measurements of 1.86° versus 7.32° overall.

  • 4

    Overall preparation time was similar between techniques, approximately 759 seconds for robotic preparation and 833 seconds for static guidance.

    The study suggests that robotic osteotomy may improve geometric fidelity and limit unnecessary material removal, especially in complex root anatomies.
