Abstract

In this modern era of dentistry, piezoelectric surgery is one of the novel innovations invented by T. Vercelloti to perform various osseous surgeries. The piezoelectric device increases treatment effectiveness and ease of using the instrument during the surgery. Minor bleeding, accuracy in cutting, and magnificent tissue healing make it best to enhance surgical results despite being used in the most complex anatomical cases. The piezoelectric device produces ultrasonic vibration (25-29KHz frequency), an oscillation (60-120µm), and power up to 50W. Piezoelectric surgery devices allow for adequate bone-cutting without damaging the soft tissue. The present review emphasizes its discovery, ideology, components, and wide application in dentistry.
