Abstract: The application of robot technology in the field of oral implantology is in the rise. The robotic system enables higher accuracy in dental implant site preparation and implant placement, making the implant surgery more personalized and predictable. As a complex surgery in dental implantology, zygomatic implant surgery requires higher accuracy due to its long drilling path, complex adjacent anatomical structures, and poor view. These problems also increase the difficulty of zygomatic implant surgery. Robotic technology seems to be an efficient method to improve the accuracy and predictability of zygomatic implantation surgery. This review introduces the composition, principle, research progress, and clinical application of robotic system for zygomatic implant surgery, and discusses the optimization considerations of the robotic system.
