Background: New tools for bone-cutting were introduced to oral and maxillofacial surgery in
the last decade, such as lasers and piezotomes. Purpose: To evaluate most recent …

In recent years, an increasing number of scientists have focused on conducting experiments
on laser ablation of bone tissue. The purpose of this study was to summarize the prognosis …

Introduction. The management of bisphosphonate‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw
(BRONJ), with no evidence‐based guidelines, remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate …

The microsecond Er: YAG pulsed laser with a wavelength of λ= 2.94 μm has been widely
used in the medical field, particularly for ablating dental tissues. Since bone and dental …

Laser osteotomy promises precise cutting and minor bone tissue damage. We proposed
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to monitor the ablation process toward our smart …

In laserosteotomy, it is vital to avoid thermal damage of the surrounding tissue, such as
carbonization, since carbonization does not only deteriorate the ablation efficiency but also …

Introduction Traditional bone surgery using saws and chisels is associated with direct
contact of instruments with the bone causing friction, heat and pressure and hence …

Most industrial laser applications utilize computer and robot assistance, for guidance, safety,
repeatability, and precision. In contrast, medical applications using laser systems are mostly …

Objective Aim of the study was to prove the safety, accuracy characteristics of contact-free
laser osteotomy executed with the cold ablation and robot-guided Er: YAG laser osteotome …

Piezosurgery is an innovative technique widely used for osteotomies in the field of oral and
maxillofacial surgery. The surgical technique has been clinically supposed to cut …
