  • Piezosurgery in Bone Augmentation Procedures Previous to Dental Implant Surgery: a Review of the Literature
    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 426 The Open Dentistry Journal, 2015, 9, 426-430 Open Access Piezosurgery in Bone Augmentation Procedures Previous to Dental Implant Surgery: A Review of the Literature Gabriel Leonardo Magrin, Eder Alberto Sigua-Rodriguez*, Douglas Rangel Goulart and Luciana Asprino Piracicaba Dental School, State University of Campinas, Piracicaba, Brazil Abstract: The piezosurgery has been used with increasing frequency and applicability by health professionals, especially those who deal with dental implants. The concept of piezoelectricity has emerged in the nineteenth century, but it was ap- plied in oral surgery from 1988 by Tomaso Vercellotti. It consists of an ultrasonic device able to cut mineralized bone tis- sue, without injuring the adjacent soft tissue. It also has several advantages when compared to conventional techniques with drills and saws, such as the production of a precise, clean and low bleed bone cut that shows positive biological re- sults. In dental implants surgery, it has been used for maxillary sinus lifting, removal of bone blocks, distraction os- teogenesis, lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve, split crest of alveolar ridge and even for dental implants placement. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of piezosurgery in bone augmentation procedures used previously to dental implants placement. Keywords: Dental implants, jaw, oral surgery, osteotomy, piezosurgery, sinus floor augmentation. INTRODUCTION oscillations. These oscillations generate ultrasonic waves that are sent to the tip of the piezoelectric hand piece and, There are several challenges faced by Oral Surgeons en- when used in short and fast movements, are able to disrupt gaged in dental implantology.

Misalignment or excessive wear of the remaining teeth, chewing difficulties, problems with oral hygiene and even nutritional deficiencies can result from missing teeth. While dentures were once the only solution, today you also have the option of dental implants, which can look just like (or even better than) the original teeth. 4 WHY IMPLANTS ARE NECESSARY Losing teeth doesn’t just mean the tooth is lost — a number of other negative effects can occur: • Bone Loss - the mechanism of chewing promotes healthy bone formation. When a tooth is lost, the bone in that area is no longer stimulated during chewing. • When multiple teeth are lost, the jawbone shrinks, the lower third of the face shortens, and the cheeks and lips become hollow.

Material and methods: In study I, 61 patients were prospectively evaluated 12 to 60 months after two different methods of locally bone harvesting methods adjacent to the maxillary sinus lift procedure. In study II, spherical, hollow, and perforated hydroxyapatite space-maintaining devices (HSMD) with a diameter of 12 mm were manufactured for this pilot study. Three patients with a residual bone height of 1–2 mm and in need of a sinus augmentation procedure prior to implant installation were selected for the study. In study III, 14 consecutive patients in need of maxillary sinus floor augmentation were included. Preoperative CBCT with titanium screwposts as indicators at the intended implant positions was used to visually guide the flapless surgical procedure. Twenty one implants all with a length of 10mm and a diameter of 4.1 and 4.8mm were inserted and followed clinically and with CBCT for 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively.

A subperiosteal space was made on the rat calvarium, and anorganic bovine bone (ABB), ABB/low bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) (5 µg), and ABB/high BMP (50 µg) were grafted as subperiosteal bone grafts. The new bone formation parameters of bone volume (BV), bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular thickness (TbTh), and trabecular spacing (TbSp) were evaluated by microcomputed tomography (µ-CT), and a histomorphometric analysis was performed to evaluate the new bone formation area. The expression of osteogenic markers, such as bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin, were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The ABB/high BMP group showed significantly higher BV than the ABB/low BMP (p = 0.004) and control groups (p = 0.000) and higher TbTh than the control group (p = 0.000).
