:'''Keywords:''' Laser Machining; Subtractive process; Dental implants; Ceramics; Polymers
:'''Purpose:''' the aim of this work is to experimentally analyse the potential of the laser subtractive process as a new method for the creation of dental implants.
:'''Design/methodology/approach:''' application of a subtractive process generating a high concentration of energy density, the heat focuses on an extremely small superficial portion. The material molecules, thanks to a vibrational motion, overheat till the cutting temperature.

:'''Findings:''' the use of the laser technique allows for better and more precise results
:'''Limitations:''' the groove shape obtained with the laser is less circular than that obtained with other methods
:'''Practical implications:''' fast and precise process
:'''Originality/value:''' this method offers a competitive advantage over conventional materials by means of the increasing efficiency of the applications for groove fabrication on biomaterials.
