Research activities

Prof. Florian M. Thieringer’s research focuses on translating advanced digital and manufacturing technologies into routine clinical practice in oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery. His core interests include computer-assisted surgery, virtual surgical planning, artificial intelligence, and medical additive manufacturing (3D printing) for the development of patient-specific implants and surgical solutions at the point of care. He conducts research on printable biomaterials and regenerative strategies for bone and soft-tissue reconstruction, as well as on the integration of robotics and digital workflows in surgery, including laser-based robotic osteotomy platforms such as MIRACLE II. In parallel, he leads and contributes to international multicentre clinical registries and outcome studies in craniomaxillofacial trauma, reconstruction, and implantology. His work aims to bridge technological innovation with high-quality clinical evidence to improve precision, safety, and patient-centred outcomes in modern surgery.
