About

Yanjun Lin is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic dental implant surgery, with a primary focus on human-robot interaction and surgical precision. Her work addresses a critical gap in computer-aided implant surgery by systematically comparing the accuracy and efficiency of semi-active, active, and passive robotic systems. In her landmark 2023 study, which has garnered 77 citations, Lin demonstrated that different human-robot interaction modes significantly affect both preparation time and implant placement accuracy—a finding that has reshaped how clinicians select robotic platforms for dental procedures. Her 2025 follow-up study (12 citations) further validated these findings by establishing a standardized operation procedure for robotic computer-aided implant surgery in partially edentulous patients, providing a reproducible clinical protocol that reduces deviation rates. Lin’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging engineering and clinical dentistry, offering evidence-based guidelines that enhance surgical outcomes while minimizing human error. Her research has become essential reading for both roboticists designing next-generation surgical systems and clinicians adopting robotic assistance, positioning her as a leading voice in the rapidly evolving field of automated implant dentistry.
