Essentials in Piezosurgery

"Essentials in Piezosurgery" contains a summary of all the elements needed to gain insight into the clinical benefits of piezoelectric bone surgery in dentistry, implantology and oral surgery. Ten years after developing this technique, in this book the author presents the clinical advantages of using piezosurgery over traditional instruments for tooth extraction, ridge expansion, sinus lifting, bone grafting, and clinical crown lengthening. Two important innovations are published for the first time in dentistry. The first concerns ultrasonic implant site preparation to optimize implant placement also in difficult anatomical areas. The second innovation is the new surgical site specific bone classification. This clearly describes bone anatomy properties, which makes it easier to choose the best surgical technique. Lastly, orthodontic microsurgery is presented, which is based on a new surgically-guided tooth movement, thus making orthodontic treatment of adult patients faster without compromising periodontal tissue.
