About
Michel Dard is a leading researcher in the field of laser osteotomy, with a specific focus on the application of Er:YAG lasers for bone surgery. His work primarily investigates the biological and mechanical advantages of laser-based bone cutting over conventional methods, such as mechanical tools and piezoelectric devices. Dard’s major contributions include demonstrating that laser osteotomy not only achieves higher accuracy but also enhances bone healing, as evidenced by his 2015 comparative study on bone surface characteristics (79 citations). He has been instrumental in advancing robot-guided, contact-free laser systems, as shown in his pilot study on minipig mandibles (27 citations), which highlights the potential for improved surgical precision and reduced trauma. His research has laid the groundwork for integrating robotics, navigation, and laser technology into clinical practice, aiming to revolutionize osteotomy procedures. With a career dedicated to bridging engineering and medicine, Dard’s work has significant implications for maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery, offering a path toward less invasive, more predictable surgical outcomes.
