Abstract:
Piezoelectric ultrasonic units have been used in periodontics and endodontics for many years. Piezosurgery (piezo-electric surgery) is one of the novel approach for hard tissue surgical procedures which can be accomplished using multi-purpose high-end ultrasonic units, with different settings. Piezosurgery is a true revolution in bone surgery with its biological and technical benefits. The precise nature of the instrument allows smooth cut geometries during surgery and enhances the visibility by providing a bloodless and debris free surgical field. This atraumatic approach secure the soft tissues and aids in releasing various cytokines which promotes bone healing.
