About

Dr. Mathias Griessen is a pioneering researcher in cranio-maxillofacial surgery, laser osteotomy, and robotic surgical systems. His major contributions lie in advancing contact-free laser bone cutting as a superior alternative to conventional mechanical tools, demonstrating that Er:YAG laser ablation offers higher precision and improved bone healing. His landmark 2015 study, cited 79 times, provides a foundational comparative investigation of bone surface integrity after laser versus mechanical cutting. Dr. Griessen further translated this technology into clinical practice through robot-guided systems, with his 2015 work on in-vitro and in-vivo minipig mandible surgeries (64 citations) establishing the feasibility and safety of robotic laser osteotomy. His research has significantly impacted surgical accuracy and patient recovery, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and operating room application. By proving that robot-guided contact-free laser osteotomy is clinically applicable, Dr. Griessen has paved the way for minimally invasive, high-precision bone surgery, reducing trauma and enhancing outcomes in cranio-maxillofacial procedures.
