PIEZOSURGERY: A REVOLUTIONARY TOOL IN PERIODONTICS

Dr. C. Gayathri, Dr. R. Madhumala

Abstract :

Periodontitis is one of the chronic inflammatory disease that leads to destruction of tooth– supporting structures. The success of the periodontal treatment depends on the removal of local factors and restoration of the bony architecture. Traditionally manual or motor driven instruments are being used to perform osseous surgery till today which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Recently, the piezoelectric device act as a revolutionary tool was introduced in the field of periodontology and oral implantology. The device proves its efficiency in making extreme precision on micrometric cutting, safety as well as great control on the surgical site. Moreover it selectively cut the bone depending on bone mineralistion, without the damaging the adjacent soft tissue, providing a clear visibility in the operating field. This review article summarises the basic principles of piezosurgery and outlines its application in areas of periodontology and oral implantology
