A Multiscale Evaluation of Erbium-Doped Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet Laser Osteotomy: Integrating Macroscopic and Cellular Analyses
In conclusion, this proof-of-concept study demonstrates that the Er:YAG laser has the potential to enable precise bone resection while preserving microstructure. By establishing a pro-regenerative microenvironment, this technology shows promise as a biologically favorable alternative to conventional sawing, although further technical refinement and long-term validation are essential for its clinical translation.
