PIEZOSURGERY IN PERIODONTICS: SOFT TISSUE PRESERVATION AND ENHANCED HEALING: THE PROMISE OF PERIODONTICS

The introduction of piezosurgery into periodontal practice has transformed surgical precision in osseous and implant procedures. Based on piezoelectric ultrasonic vibration, this technology allows selective cutting of mineralized tissue with micrometric accuracy while preserving adjacent soft tissues, nerves, and vessels - a feat unachievable with conventional rotary instruments.This book offers a focused, evidence-based exploration of piezosurgery across key periodontal and implant applications - from osseous resective surgery and regenerative procedures to ridge augmentation, sinus elevation, and implant site preparation. Grounded in current literature and clinical outcomes, it is written for postgraduate students and clinicians seeking to integrate piezosurgery intelligently and effectively into modern periodontal practice.
