Piezotomes

When bone surgery becomes controlled rather than aggressive
A piezotome is a specialized ultrasonic device used in dental and maxillofacial surgery for fast, precise, and safe bone grafting procedures.

Unlike rotary instruments, a piezotome works selectively: ultrasound affects mineralized tissue without injuring soft structures. That is why piezosurgery is considered today the least traumatic method in surgical dentistry.

For which procedures a piezotome is used
Ultrasonic piezotomes are used for a wide range of interventions:
removal of complex and impacted teeth
bone augmentation before implantation
sinus lifting (elevation of the maxillary sinus floor)
stabilization of mobile teeth
bite correction
removal of cystic formations

In all these cases, control and safety are key.

A piezotome works through ultrasonic micro-vibrations that:
act precisely only on bone
do not damage nerves, vessels, or membranes
reduce the risk of overheating

The procedure is always accompanied by active cooling of the operated area, even in deep layers, which:
reduces thermal trauma
improves postoperative healing
reduces pain and swelling

Ultrasound frequency
Piezotomes operate in a specialized ultrasonic range that is effective for bone but safe for soft tissues.

Micro-vibration amplitude
Controlled amplitude ensures:
clean cutting
minimal bone loss
absence of necrosis

Irrigation system
Continuous cooling:
protects bone
maintains tissue viability
improves regeneration

Real advantages and limitations

Advantages
✔ minimal trauma
✔ better postoperative prognosis
✔ safety in complex areas
✔ controlled bone work

Limitations
✖ higher cost compared to conventional instruments
✖ lower speed in simple manipulations
✖ need for operating skills

Piezotome — the right choice
A piezotome is not a replacement for all instruments, but a tool for situations where mistakes are too costly.
This is where piezosurgery demonstrates its real value.

Answers to frequently asked questions from clinics

Can a piezotome be used without the risk of damaging soft tissues?
Yes. This is the principle of selective ultrasonic action.

Does a piezotome replace a bur or a saw?
Not completely, but it significantly outperforms them in complex and delicate areas.

Is healing faster after piezosurgery?
Yes, due to reduced trauma and temperature control.
