Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In contrast to many currently employed osteotomy techniques like saws or drills the use of short-pulsed laser light offers the possibility of non-contact and vibration-free bone cutting. With a wavelength of 2.94 microm the Er:YAG laser displays a consummate absorption in water and thus is particularly suitable for bone ablation. To examine the benefits of laser osteotomy in oral surgery a short-pulsed Er:YAG laser was used for different surgical procedures in 30 patients. Preliminary clinical findings revealed satisfactory cut efficiency and no carbonisation. No serious complications were encountered in the postoperative wound healing process. However, the surgical procedures were time-consuming. |
