Abstract : Objective The purpose of the article is to present a narrative review of the literature related to application of robotic technology in prosthodontics. Dentistry has made a significant technical transition from manual techniques to digital technology. Applications of robotics have become more and more popular in many medical fields, including dentistry, as a means of streamlining manual procedures and enhancing accuracy. The main applications of robotic interventions in prosthodontics are in the design and manufacture of complete or partial dentures, as well as in assisting with dental implantology surgical procedures. In both situations, significant advancements have been made, enabling treatments with high success rates to be carried out with a better degree of accuracy with significantly reduced amount of time required for completion of procedure.  Materials And Methods A literature search was performed in the online databases – PubMed, Science Direct, Medline and Google Scholar with the following:  Conclusion Robotic assistance in prosthodontics has led to tremendous progress specially in laboratory work and placement of implants. However, using these intricately built robots for various prosthodontic procedures needs close supervision from a trained dentist. Clinical judgment and specialist competence of dentist are indispensable.
