Abstract

Piezosurgery, a minimally invasive surgical technique introduced two decades ago, has found extensive applications in dentistry. Its primary advantage lies in enhancing patient comfort while safeguarding vital structures. Within Periodontics and implant dentistry, the piezosurgery unit has become indispensable, facilitating procedures ranging from scaling and root planning to complex surgeries like resective osseous surgery, bone harvesting, sinus lifts, ridge splitting, and implant placements. This innovative device holds promise for delivering better and more predictable clinical outcomes in various osseous surgical procedures. This article explores the utilization of piezosurgery in Periodontics and implant dentistry, delving into its mechanism, advantages, and limitations.
