Piezoelectric Bone Surgery: A New Paradigm

Tomaso Vercellotti, who devised the technique, explains how to bring piezoelectric bone surgery into everyday work in oral surgery and implant dentistry. The first part lays the groundwork: the clinical characteristics of piezoelectric cutting, the technology of the ultrasonic device, the process of ultra-osseointegration and a series of exercises for acquiring dexterity before operating. The second develops sequential protocols for extraction, implants, sinus elevation, bone grafting and ridge expansion, with a surgically applicable bone classification and cases illustrating each procedure. It works as an orderly introduction and as a reference for those already using ultrasound who want to refine their technique.
