About

Lin-Zi Han is a pioneering oral surgeon whose work bridges the gap between digital robotics and minimally invasive dentistry. Her primary research focuses on the clinical application of robotic-assisted systems for complex dental procedures, particularly the extraction of impacted teeth. In her landmark 2024 case report, Han demonstrated the first successful use of a digital robot to perform a minimally invasive impacted tooth extraction, employing a marker-based CBCT-guided navigation system to achieve unprecedented precision. This study, which has already garnered 9 citations, represents a significant leap forward in reducing surgical trauma and recovery time for patients. Han’s contributions are reshaping the standard of care in oral surgery, offering a safer, more predictable alternative to traditional techniques. Her work not only highlights the potential of digital robotics in dentistry but also sets the stage for broader adoption of automated surgical tools in clinical practice. As a rising authority in her field, Han continues to inspire researchers and clinicians exploring the intersection of technology and patient-centered care.
