For dentists and practice leaders 👉 https://denticula.com\nRobots have been placing dental implants in real patients since Yomi's FDA clearance in 2017. And it has split implant surgeons down the middle. One side says this is accuracy beyond any human hand. The other says we are training a generation of dentists who will not be able to operate when the technology cannot.\nDr Jono Michael is one of the few people who can judge that argument rather than just react to it. He is an implant and reconstructive dentist in Sydney with a Master's in Oral Implantology from Goethe University in Frankfurt. He uses guided surgery every week, and he studied robotic assistance as part of his training.\nIn this episode:\n🦷 Static guides, dynamic navigation and full robotics, explained as if you were the patient\n📊 The $200,000 robot, and what he learned about robotic surgery during his Master's\n✋ Why more than half his work is still freehand, and why he goes unguided for full arch\n⚠️ The 1mm problem: when a small deviation is the difference between success and a damaged nerve\n🤔 The deskilling question: if the next generation trains only on guides, who operates when the technology cannot?\n✈️ The autopilot parallel: is dentistry repeating aviation's mistake?\n🤖 Would he let a robot place an implant in his own mouth? His answer: \"Not today.\"\n💬 His advice to young dentists: take it slow, check everything twice, and it is okay to say no\nTimestamps:\n00:00 Robots are placing implants right now\n01:25 Why dentistry, why implants\n03:51 Why he left Australia for Goethe, Frankfurt\n07:50 Guided surgery explained: static, dynamic, robotic\n11:32 What a guide changes on surgery day\n16:21 Why he goes freehand for full arch\n27:19 The $200,000 robot\n36:02 The 2026 meta-analysis: robots win on accuracy.
