Dental piezosurgery is a technology used in oral surgery for cutting bone without damaging soft tissues.
Dental piezosurgery, or piezoelectric bone surgery, is used in several dental fields, including:
This technique uses ultra-sonic micro-vibrations to cut mineralized tissues such as bone, allowing the professional to operate precisely and safely, avoiding bleeding.
Dental piezosurgery is also useful for wisdom tooth extraction, particularly if it is impacted and therefore located under the gum, near the lower alveolar nerve.
Piezosurgery does not damage the nerve tissue and allows for maximum safety in operations.
