Abstract

Piezosurgery is an alternative technique over conventional oral surgical procedure which is gained popularity in the field of dentistry. It's a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the chance of harming soft tissues and vital systems including nerves, blood vessels, and mucosa. This device is utilised in operations such as osteotomies, periodontology, and implantology, as well as oral surgical procedures and sinus augmentation. The salient feature of peizosurgery includes bone cutting without damage to the surrounding soft tissues with sufficient visibility in the operating field without generation of heat. This case report illustrates its use in the direct sinus lift procedure.

Keywords: Peizosurgery, direct sinus lift, osteotomy, bone healing
