The introduction of digital technology in the last two decades has significantly impacted the accuracy and precision of implant placement. The ultimate digital approach is represented by robotic assisted surgery. Robotic assisted surgery has been applied to several areas of medicine and now this technology has landed in dentistry. The goal of this presentation is to review the state of the art of the digital approaches in implant dentistry with particular attention to robotic assisted surgery. Indication pros and cons of this novel approach will be discussed, in addition to future developments and directions.
