Piezoelectric Osteotomy and Ridge Expansion Technique In Edentulous Mandibular For Dental Implants
 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : Piezosurgery a new cuting technique was developed and tried by Vercelotti in 1999, in osteotomies of resorbed narrow ridges in order to overcome the problems associated with 'traditional drilling techniques. Aim of the work: This work aims at evaluating the use of piezoelectric surgery osteotomy and bone expansion techniques for preparing the implant site in mandibular atrophic ridges. Materials and Methods: six male patients with narrow knife edge mandibular ridge class 2 Kent's classification were selected, based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Insertion of the implants fixture in a surgically created site using Piezotome inserts, was followed by sequential bone expansion increasing in size. The assembled a-ring attachments housing was seated on the ball insert abutment after 3 months. Results: The clinical phase went uneventful, with no untoward complications. Statistical analysis at different follow up periods showed a significant increase in bone density, and significant decrease in marginal height after 12 months than the base line. Conclusion: piezoelectric ridge osteotomy technique is a promising osteotomy procedure successfully used with ridge expansion in narrow mandibular ridges without the risk of fracture, ensuring implant success since it takes place in protected and well vascularized environment. 120120.
