Abstract:
To explore a new surgical approach for impacted teeth extraction and cystectomy using piezosurgery that provides proper bone healing in normal anatomical structure without additional fixation and graft materials.In cases with intact and relatively thicker vestibular compact bone, a bone flap design was used with converging osteotomy lines made with piezosurgery tips which allow proper stabilization after enucleation or extraction.Procedure was performed in 10 patients with 9 to 36 months follow-up resulted in satisfactory healing without any complications.Comparing to traditional techniques, effective enucleation and accelerated bone regeneration are achieved, with reduced risk of complications, operation time, and costs.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Spongy Bone
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
