About
Waldemar Deibel is a pioneering researcher in the field of laser osteotomy, with a primary focus on advancing robot-guided, contact-free laser surgery for cranio-maxillo-facial applications. His major contributions center on the development and clinical validation of the CARLO® (Computer-Assisted Robot-Guided Laser Osteotome) system, demonstrating that Er:YAG lasers can cut bone with higher precision and improved healing outcomes compared to conventional mechanical tools. Deibel’s landmark 2015 study comparing bone surface after laser and mechanical cutting (79 citations) established the fundamental advantages of laser ablation, while his in-vivo work on minipig mandibles (64 citations) proved the clinical applicability of robot-guided laser osteotomy. His 2018 comparative microstructural analysis (39 citations) further validated the superior bone quality achieved with laser versus piezoelectric osteotomes. Notably, Deibel has explored specialized applications such as the osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) procedure for corneal blindness, where laser precision is critical. His engineering contributions include developing a compact, efficient laser head for the CARLO® system (13 citations), enabling practical surgical implementation. With cumulative citations exceeding 200, Deibel’s work bridges the gap between laser physics and clinical surgery, positioning him as a key innovator in computer-assisted, minimally invasive bone surgery.
