Piezosurgery - Safe and Reliable Method for Direct Sinus Lift
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2022, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Piezosurgery is an alternative technique over conventional oral surgical procedure which is gained popularity in the field of dentistry. It offers a minimally invasive technique that reduces the risk of damage to soft tissues and important structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and the mucosa. This device is being used in osteotomies, periodontology and implantology, oral surgical procedures and in sinus augmentation procedures. The most important features of Piezosurgery include the selective cutting of bone depending on bone mineralization, without damaging the adjacent soft tissue (e.g. vessels, nerves or mucosa), providing a clear visibility in the operating field, and cutting with sensitivity without the generation of heat. This case report illustrates its use in the direct sinus lift procedure.
