Parameter optimization of femtosecond laser pulses for implant cavity preparation
Femtosecond laser pulses are employed in the preparation of implant cavities during dental implant surgeries in the field of digital dentistry, specifically focusing on optimizing laser pulse parameters to enhance precision and control thermal injury. In this study, <i>ex vivo</i> experiments were conducted on sheep tibiae, where thermocouple sensors monitored the temperature variations during ablation. This approach aims to optimize the laser pulse parameters and control the temperature, ensuring smoother cavity margins and better preservation of the bone microarchitecture. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed significant improvements in the quality of the implant cavities prepared using the femtosecond laser pulses.
