ADVANCEMENTS IN ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY-EXPLORING THE APPLICATIONS OF PIEZOSURGERY

Piezosurgery has emerged as a groundbreaking technique in oral and maxillofacial surgery, offering a minimally invasive approach to bone cutting with unparalleled precision and safety.In oral and maxillofacial surgery,piezosurgery finds widespread of applications in various procedures, including dental implantology, orthognathic surgery, sinus lift procedures, harvesting bone grafts, enucleation of bone jaw cysts and resection of tumours. It utilizes ultrasonic vibrations generated by piezoelectric crystals to precisely cut mineralized tissues like bone while preserving adjacent soft tissues. This selective cutting ability distinguishes piezosurgery from traditional rotary instruments, minimizing trauma to surrounding structures and reducing the risk of postoperative complications. In conclusion, piezosurgery represents a significant advancement in oral and maxillofacial surgery,offering a minimally invasive,tissue-preserving approach to bone cutting. By harnessing the precision, safety, and patient benefits afforded by piezosurgery, oral and maxillofacial surgeons can elevate the standard of care, achieve superior surgical outcomes, and enhance patient satisfaction in diverse clinical aspects.
