After reviewing the invention of piezosurgery, Vercellotti (University of Genoa) introduces the clinical characteristics of piezoelectric cutting, the technology of the ultrasonic device, exercises for practicing piezoelectric surgical skills, a qualitative bone classification system for surgical application, and the process of ultra-osseointegration. The surgical chapters provide the step-by-step protocol for piezoelectric dental extractions, implantology, sinus elevation, bone grafting, and ridge expansion. Color photographs illustrate the surgical techniques and case studies. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
This book from the inventor of Piezosurgery provides the practical information clinicians need to successfully integrate piezoelectric bone surgery into their practices to improve outcomes in oral surgery and dental implantology. The first half of the book introduces basic piezoelectric principles, including the clinical characteristics of piezoelectric cutting, the technology of the ultrasonic device, and the ultra-osseointegration process, and a surgical skills chapter includes practical exercises to prepare readers to use the piezoelectric device. The clinical chapters in the second half of the book guide readers through step-by-step piezoelectric surgical protocols for dental extractions, implantology, sinus augmentation, bone grafting, and ridge expansion, followed by case studies illustrating each technique. This book is an excellent reference for readers looking for a comprehensive introduction to Piezosurgery as well as experienced clinicians interested in perfecting these precise and minimally invasive techniques.Contents: A New Paradigm in Bone Surgery • The Invention of Piezosurgery • Clinical Characteristics of Piezoelectric Cutting • The Technology of the Ultrasonic Device • Piezoelectric Surgical Skills • The History of Ultrasonic Bone Surgery • Bone Classification System for Surgical Application • The Ultra-Osseointegration Process • Piezoelectric Dental Extractions • Piezoelectric Implantology • Piezoelectric Sinus Augmentation • Piezoelectric Bone Grafting • Piezoelectric Ridge Expansion
