Utilizzo della chirurgia piezoelettrica nelle avulsioni complesse: caso clinico

Objectives

The authors describe the case of a patient with mandibular first molar with a large degree of bone inclusion and in proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve.

Materials and methods

In this case report the authors present the surgical extraction of a deep impacted first molar with piezoelectric ultrasonic instrumentation.

Results

A new bone lid technique with a piezoelectric device, which is described in this article, may be indicated considering its selective and soft tissue sparing abilities when a conventional operation requires extensive removal of alveolar bone and/or performing surgery in close proximity to the alveolar nerve, when there is an appreciable risk of damage to the inferior alveolar nerve by instrumentation.

Conclusions

The use of piezoelectric equipment seems to be better than the conventional surgery in conducting surgical operations with a lower risk of damaging soft tissues.
