Dentistry, is an art in science and tranquilizer
in medicine, has seen many challenging surgeries.
Procedures over years. In starting it began with using
the traditional tools. To overcome the disadvantage of
the traditional tools, nowadays new device has been in
rule such as, Piezosurgical device. It is one of the best
innovations in the modern dentistry, in periodontics it is
used in various applications such as bone grafting,
curettage, crown lengthening, Ridge expansion, and in
many departments such as implantology, conservative
dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery. It leads to the
safe and precise bone incision without damaging the
associated structures. It creates the bloodless field
during the surgical procedures. In ostectomy and
osteoplasty, it is widely in use. Healing process in
piezosurgery is very shorter. It is safe to use for surgeons
and also creates the comfort zone to the patient. It is
three times more powerful than the conventional
ultrasonic units. The piezosurgical device consists of a
novel piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer powered by an
ultrasonic generator capable of driving a range of
resonant cutting inserts. Piezosurgery can be defined as
a saw characterized by the versatility particularly in
perform osteoplasty and Ostectomies. This article aims
to review piezoelectric surgery and its role in
periodontics, it’s mechanism, equipment, applications,
ostectomy and osteoplasty tips finally advantages and
disadvantages.
