Abstract

Piezosurgery is a new and innovative method that uses piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrations to perform precise and safe osteotomies. It was first invented by Tomaso Vercelotti to overcome the limitations of traditional instruments in oral bone surgery. Its use was first reported in the field of preprosthetic surgery, alveolar crest expansion, and sinus grafting. It provides substantial improvement in dental/implant surgery, benefiting the surgeon by ease of use and the patient by minimizing surgical trauma and promoting rapid healing. This article discusses the wide range of applications of this novel technique in periodontology.
