Materials and Methods: Six consecutive edentulous patients requiring implant-supported full-arch rehabilitation were treated using the Yakebot task-autonomous robotic implant system following a fully digital workflow. A total of 36 Straumann Bone Level Tapered implants were placed using a flapless approach. Implant placement accuracy was assessed by comparing planned and postoperative CBCT datasets. Coronal, apical, depth, and angular deviations were automatically calculated using dedicated robotic planning software. Patient-reported outcomes were prospectively evaluated through a structured questionnaire assessing preoperative perceptions, postoperative morbidity, and overall treatment satisfaction. Results: All implants were successfully placed according to the robotic-assisted workflow without intraoperative complications or conversion to conventional surgery. Mean three-dimensional coronal and apical deviations were 0.45 \u00b1 0.18 mm and 0.47 \u00b1 0.19 mm, respectively, while mean total angular deviation was 1.30 \u00b1 0.63\u00b0. Patients reported low preoperative anxiety (0.5 \u00b1 0.8\/10), limited postoperative pain (2.2 \u00b1 3.5\/10), swelling (1.3 \u00b1 2.2\/10), and interference with daily activities (1.3 \u00b1 2.2\/10). Overall surgical experience was highly rated (9.7 \u00b1 0.8\/10). Final satisfaction scores were exceptionally high, with all patients indicating they would undergo robotic-assisted surgery again and recommend the procedure to others. Conclusions: Robotic-assisted full-arch implant rehabilitation demonstrated a high level of clinical accuracy, with submillimetric coronal and apical deviations and low angular discrepancies. In addition, treatment was associated with low postoperative morbidity, excellent patient acceptance, and very high satisfaction. These findings support the potential of autonomous robotic implant surgery as a predictable and patient-centered approach for full-arch rehabilitation, although larger controlled studies are required to confirm these results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/dj14080528","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]],"date-time":"2026-08-18T12:09:32Z","timestamp":1787054972000},"page":"528","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical Accuracy and Patient Experience Following Robotic-Assisted Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2194-3855","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Baoluo Xing","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, Master Degree in Oral Surgery, Implantology and Periodontology, Alfonso X el Sabio University, 28037 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0546-8000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"G.
