Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen, Germany have developed a laser-based ablation process and applicator technology for precise and fast laser drilling in the oral cavity. This new method overcomes the limitations of conventional mechanical drilling for dental implant placement, which can result in incorrect positioning and inadequate anchoring in thin or porous bone. The laser ablation process demonstrated an ablation rate of 1.75mm3/s, which is about 80% higher than previously reported. The researchers concluded that this concept for a dental laser drilling system shows promise for treatment in the oral cavity. [Extracted from the article] |
