    Piezosurgery offers precise, selective cutting for oral surgery, minimizing tissue damage and improving visibility. This advanced technique enhances safety and ease in procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Conventional oral surgery instruments like rotating burs and saws can cause significant soft tissue damage.
    • Achieving precise cuts and maintaining clear visibility in deep surgical sites remains a challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the therapeutic features and benefits of piezosurgery in oral and implantology procedures.
    • To compare piezosurgery's effectiveness with conventional surgical instruments.

    Main Methods:

    • Piezosurgery utilizes ultrasonic frequencies for a micrometric and selective cut, differentiating between hard and soft tissues.
    • The oscillating tip generates a cavitation effect with irrigation, ensuring effective cooling and enhanced surgical site visibility.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Piezosurgery enables precise cutting of mineralized tissues while sparing surrounding soft tissues and delicate anatomical structures.
    • The cavitation effect provides superior visibility and cooling compared to traditional instruments, even in deep surgical areas.
    • Procedures such as bone harvesting, bone splitting, and sinus floor elevation are performed with increased ease and safety.

    Conclusions:

    • Piezosurgery offers significant advantages in oral surgery due to its precision, selectivity, and improved visualization.
    • The technique enhances patient safety by minimizing tissue damage and facilitates complex implantology procedures.
