Femtosecond plasma mediated laser ablation has advantages over mechanical osteotomy of cranial bone

Although mechanical osteotomies are frequently made on the craniofacial skeleton, collateral thermal, and mechanical trauma to adjacent bone tissue causes cell death and may delay healing. The present study evaluated the use of plasma‐mediated laser ablation using a femtosecond laser to circumvent thermal damage and improve bone regeneration.
