Lower heat, more precise cutting and faster healing
The performance of Er:YAG laser and surgical drill for osteotomy in oral surgery was compared in the study published recently in the Journal for oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aim of the study was to find out if it is possible to avoid disadvantages during the conventional drill, such as thermal damage, a necrotic surface zone, injury of the bone cells and concenquently delayed healing, infections due to fragments left on the bone surface and vibrations. Holes for fixation screws were performed in 4, 6 thick bone blocks from porcine ribs using a low- speed, 1.0 mm wide surgical pilot drill and an Er:YAG laser (MAX mode, Fotona). The temperature during the preparation, the removed bone volume, and the time required for the preparation were compared in the study. The cortical and spongiose surfaces of the specimens were examined microscopically and histologically.
