Piezosurgery: Basics and Possibilities

Implant Dentistry, 2006
Useful in a variety of oral surgery procedures, piezosurgery has therapeutic features that include a micrometric cut (precise and secure action to limit tissue damage, especially to osteocytes), a selective cut (affecting mineralized tissues, but not surrounding soft tissues), and a clear surgical site (the result of the cavitation effect created by an

Piezosurgery in External Dacryocystorhinostomy

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2017
Background: Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) can be performed via an external or endoscopic approach. The use of ultrasonic or piezosurgery has been well described for endoscopic DCRs but is lacking for external DCRs. This study presents a case series of external DCRs performed using piezosurgery evaluating results and complications.

Piezosurgery

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2007
Two basic techniques for lateral osteotomy have been developed to date; the internal (endonasal) continuous technique and the external (percutaneous) perforating method. Numerous investigators have subjectively reported that the application of the two techniques results in less postoperative ecchymosis and edema compared to the use of other techniques,

The Use of Piezosurgery in Genioplasty

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016
The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative complications during genioplasty using piezosurgery devices or traditional rotating drills. Forty patients underwent genioplasty to solve their chin anomalies. This study showed that, using piezosurgery, pain and swelling were reduced compared to the traditional technique in the immediate ...

Eagle Syndrome Surgical Treatment With Piezosurgery

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2014
Eagle syndrome (ES) is an uncommon complication of styloid process elongation with stylohyoideal complex symptomatic calcification. It is an uncommon condition (4% of the population) that is symptomatic in only 4% of the cases. Eagle syndrome is usually an acquired condition that can be related to tonsillectomy or to a neck trauma.

Genioplasty with piezosurgery

2008
Aims: The chin is the most prominent and median sector of the lower third of the face giving harmony to nose and lips. We present the application of piezoelectric bone cutting device for the correction of different chin deformities. The distinctive characteristics of this device allows us to avoid or reduce the immediate genioplasty complications ...

Results of revision mastoidectomy with Piezosurgery^®

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2010
For otologic revision surgery, the advantage of the piezoelectric device appears real because it is possible to perform a 'blind' cutting of bone with fewer precautions necessary for soft tissues such as the facial nerve, lateral sinus, and dura mater.The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of the piezoelectric device in revision surgery ...

Piezosurgery in oral and maxillofacial surgery

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2011
This review summarizes current knowledge and experience with piezosurgery, a promising, meticulous and soft tissue-sparing system for bone cutting, based on ultrasonic microvibrations. The main advantages of piezosurgery include soft tissue protection, optimal visibility in the surgical field, decreased blood loss, less vibration and noise, increased ...
