Abstract
Piezoelectric surgery, leveraging ultrasonic vibrations for selective cutting of mineralized tissues while preserving soft tissue integrity, has revolutionized veterinary dental and maxillofacial procedures. This technique enhances precision, reduces postoperative pain, and accelerates healing by minimizing damage to surrounding structures. Its antibacterial cavitation effects and ability to address fragile bone structures make it suitable for rabbits and small exotic mammals. Applications include dental extractions, treatment of osteomyelitis, otitis media and chronic rhinitis. Ultrasonic wound debridement, promotes rapid healing of infected wounds by selectively removing necrotic tissue. Despite a learning curve, piezoelectric surgery offers unparalleled benefits in dentistry of exotic small mammals.
