Abstract
The ongoing advances in periodontics, have led to the introduction of Piezosurgery, which has been rejuvenating in the field of osseous surgeries. Piezosurgery® device is based on the piezoelectric effect by ultrasonic vibrations. The linear vibrations and cavitation effect gives blood free zone for clear visibility and operating accuracy. The display unit guides the user to choose from a variety of operational settings that optimize the ultrasonic frequency for desired procedures. It has various applications in periodontics particularly in osteotomy procedures and implant dentistry.
