Statement Of Problem: With the increasing interest in the applications of robots in implant dentistry and an acceleration in disseminating information about this field and its applications, a comprehensive review of robots in implant dentistry has become necessary.
Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the present status and development of robotic applications in implant dentistry and provide insights into future implementation and advancement, limitations, and strategies for enhanced clinical adoption and technical advancement.
Material And Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was followed. A search strategy was developed to identify relevant studies in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar databases. Studies were included if they described using robots in implant dentistry.
Results: The literature search identified 34 relevant studies, with the majority published after 2020. Most research used robotic arms to place alveolar implants and test placement accuracy. Twenty-one of the included studies described the in vitro testing of robotic systems using phantom models or specimens, while 10 studies evaluated these systems clinically and 3 tested both in vitro and clinical applications.
Conclusions: Robots are becoming increasingly common in implant dentistry, offering efficiency, time-saving benefits, and improved accuracy. However, more research and development are needed to optimize and streamline robotic software programs for practical application.

Objectives: This report illustrates the digital interdisciplinary management of a case presenting with diastemata, a retained primary tooth, microdontia, and hypodontia. Esthetic crown lengthening and ultrathin veneers optimized the natural dentition and achieved a stable, minimally-invasive, and esthetically-pleasing outcome.
Clinical Considerations: Reduction guides were digitally-designed and 3D-printed for guided crown lengthening and dental veneer preparation.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance (degree of trueness) of a novel scan body "tooth-modified Scan body" (TMSB)& conventional scan body (CSB) in implant-supported full arch screw retained cases.
Methods: Seven edentulous arches (two maxillae, five mandibles) in 6 patients were rehabilitated with monolithic zirconia screw-retained implant prostheses supported by 4 (n = 1) and 5 implants (n = 6) for a total amount of 34 implants. Implant locations were scanned by intra-oral scanner (IOS) using two types of scan bodies, conventional scan bodies (CSB) in group (1) and tooth-modified scan bodies (TMSB) in group (2).

Precise volumetric measurement of newly formed bone after maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) can help clinicians in planning for dental implants. This study aimed to introduce a novel modular framework to facilitate volumetric calculations based on manually drawn segmentations of user-defined areas of interest on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images MATERIAL & METHODS: Two interconnected networks for manual segmentation of a defined volume of interest and dental implant volume calculation, respectively, were used in parallel. The volume data of dental implant manufacturers were used for reference.
