Piezosurgery in Periodontics and Implantology. A revolutionary minimally invasive surgical technique

      Аннотация: Piezosurgery (piezoelectric bone surgery) is a promising, meticulous and soft tissue sparing system for bone cutting, based on ultrasonic microvibrations. Ultrasound has been used for many years in periodontics to remove tartar, debride root surfaces, and to degranulate periodontal defects. However, in the last decade a novel family of ultrasonic powered devices has been developed that is revolutionizing maxillofacial bone surgery. Piezoelectric surgery applied to bone presents a real alternative method of minimally invasive surgery. In comparison with the traditional method it offers a massive advantage. It is an innovation in bone surgery and the characteristics differ from those of the conventional technique.
