Split crest con colocación simultánea de implantes en sector anterior: reporte de un caso / Split crest with simultaneous placement of implants in the anterior sector: a case report

La pérdida ósea en el sector anterior, ya sea por un defecto horizontal, vertical o combinado, actualmente es un desafío, no sólo por la integración del implante, sino por la estética involucrada. Entre las técnicas de regeneración ósea que permiten solucionar estos defectos, cabe destacar la técnica de expansión de crestas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 58 años con reborde atrófico, que se sometió a la expansión de crestas con colocación simultánea de implantes en sector anterior, con xenoinjerto previo a técnica de expansión de crestas con piezoeléctrico, colocación simultánea de implantes Narrow Connection SLActive Straumann. Se logró ganancia ósea y estabilidad primaria de los implantes, sin complicaciones. En escenarios seleccionados, la técnica de expansión de crestas de manera predecible permite ganancia de hueso horizontal adecuada, el éxito de los implantes con tasa de supervivencia y mínimas complicaciones intra y postoperatorias (AU)

Bone loss in the anterior sector, both a horizontal, vertical or combined defect is a challenge today; not only for the integration of the implant but also the aesthetic involved. There are techniques of bone regeneration that help us to solve this type of defects, among them we should highlight the crest expansion technique. We present the case of a 58-year-old patient with atrophic flange, who underwent the expansion of crests with simultaneous placement of implants in the anterior sector, with xenograft prior to the piezoelectric crest expansion technique, Simultaneous placement of Narrow Connection SLActive Straumann implants, bone gain and primary stability of the implants were obtained, without complications. In selected scenarios, the crest expansion technique could be considered a predictable approach that demonstrates a high implant survival rate, adequate horizontal bone gain, and minimal intra- and postoperative complications (AU)

Cervical ventral slot in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Piezosurgery versus conventional technique

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the applicability of piezosurgery for cervical ventral slot (CVS), comparing it with the conventional technique of using high-speed burs for bone wear. Methods Thirty rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were divided into two treatment groups (T1 and T2) corresponding to CVS between C3-C4. In T1, the surgery was performed with piezoelectric apparatus, and in T2 with high-speed burs. The evaluated parameters were: duration of each stage of surgery, temperature variations during CVS, visibility of the surgical field, intra and postoperative complications, and anesthetic monitoring. At 14, 28, and 56 postoperative days, five animals from each treatment group were submitted for histopathological study of the surgical site. Results Compared with T2, T1 had more precise bone cut, and better visibility of the operative field, although it required longer total surgical time (p = 0.02) and triggered a greater number of intraoperative complications (p < 0.01), microscopic lesions in the spinal cord (p < 0.05), and transient neurological deficits in the postoperatively (p < 0.05). Conclusions It is necessary to perform surgical planning and have several tips of the piezoelectric instrument available for the safe use of the piezoelectric device in neurosurgery.

Técnica de disyunción horizontal del reborde alveolar con bisturí piezoeléctrico y colocación de implantes en el maxilar inferior: informe de casos clínicos / Horizontal split crest technique using a piezoelectric scalpel and immediate implant placement in the jaw: report of clinical cases

Objetivo: Presentar una técnica quirúrgica de disyunción con bisturí piezoeléctrico y expansión de rebordes delgados en maxilar inferior que permita la colocación de implantes en la posición tridimensional correcta en el mismo acto quirúrgico. Casos clínicos: Se presenta la resolución de dos casos clínicos de pacientes que acudieron a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Adultos de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Ambos requerían la colocación de implantes en sectores posteroinferiores. Las imágenes tomográficas mostraban adecuada altura del reborde alveolar pero deficiente espesor para la colocación de implantes en la posición tridimensional correcta. Se decidió realizar una técnica de disyunción horizontal del reborde alveolar con bisturí piezoeléctrico, expansión del reborde y colocación de implantes e injerto óseo particulado de forma simultánea. Luego de 3 meses, se efectuó la segunda cirugía para iniciar la rehabilitación protésica. Conclusión: La técnica de disyunción horizontal del reborde alveolar mediante el uso del bisturí piezoeléctrico permitió ubicar al implante en la posición tridimensional correcta dentro del tejido óseo nativo sin la necesidad de realizar regeneraciones complejas en rebordes alveolares delgados (AU)

Aim: Present the horizontal split crest technique with a piezoelectric scalpel and the immediate implant placement in the correct tridimensional position, in thin mandibular alveolar ridges. Cases report: The surgical resolutions of 2 clinical cases of patients who attended the Adult Integral Dentistry Chair of the Faculty of Dentistry of the UBA, are presented. Both patients required implant placement in posterior madibular residual ridge. The tomographic images showed adequate height of the alveolar ridge but poor thickness for implants placement in a correct three-dimensional position. It was decided to perform a horizontal split crest technique of the alveolar ridge with piezoelectric scalpel, ridge expansion, and immediate implant placement with xenograft. After 3 months, the second surgery was performed to start with the prosthetic rehabilitation. Conclusion: The horizontal split crest technique using a piezoelectric scalpel, allowed immediate implant placement in the correct tridimensional position within native bone tissue, avoiding a guided bone regeneration technique, in these cases with thin alveolar ridges (AU)

Ensaio clínico randomizado e cruzado entre a piezocirurgia e a técnica convencional rotatória para a exodontia de terceiros molares inferiores / Randomized crossover clinical trial between piezocirurgia and conventional technique for inferior third molar extraction

A exodontia de terceiros molares inclusos produz um grau significativo de traumatismo para os tecidos moles e estruturas ósseas da cavidade oral, consequentemente resultando em uma reação inflamatória. Esta reação gera diversos sinais e sintomas clínicos pós operatórios como: dor, edema e limitação de abertura bucal que fazem parte da resposta inflamatória reparadora, mas que se exacerbada pode levar a grandes desconfortos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar comparativamente a piezocirurgia e a técnica convencional rotatória quanto a variabilidade dos principais parâmetros clínicos, sistêmicos e locais, no pré, trans e no pós operatório da exodontias de terceiros molares inferiores. Foi realizado um estudo clínico randomizado, cruzado em 20 pacientes saudáveis com necessidade de exodontia de terceiros molares inclusos e/ou impactados bilateralmente de mesma dificuldade cirúrgica. O lado a ser operado foi alocado randomicamente para técnica ultrassônica ou rotatória. Foram analisadas as alterações hemodinâmicas, pressão arterial, frequência cardíaca e saturação de oxigênio pré, trans e pós operatórias. Os desfechos locais foram coletados no dia do procedimento e 24 horas após a cirurgia, nesse contexto foi investigada a máxima abertura bucal em milímetros e o edema facial em pontos anatômicos pré estabelecidos. A análise de dor foi registrada pelo próprio paciente por meio da escala visual analógica em ficha padronizada, assim como a quantidade de analgésicos consumida e os níveis de ansiedade. Os resultados mostraram que o tempo trans operatório pelo uso da piezocirurgia foi maior. Não houve grande variabilidade nos parâmetros hemodinâmicos. A técnica ultrassônica provocou limitação de abertura de boca semelhante à técnica convencional. Gerou menor edema pós operatório em uma das dimensões lineares. Não promoveu níveis menores de dor pós operatória, além disso pode aumentar o grau de ansiedade do paciente. Concluímos que para as osteotomias nas exodontias de terceiros molares inferiores, a piezocirurgia mostrou ser comparável a técnica convencional. O emprego de uma ou outra técnica deve ser uma opção pessoal do cirurgião.

Comparación entre la piezocirugía y los instrumentos rotativos convencionales en la lateralización del nervio dentario inferior / Comparison between the piezosurgery and the conventional rotary surgery in the lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve

Introducción: la rehabilitación de pacientes desdentados mandibulares posteriores con implantes osteointegrados, se vuelve difícil cuando la cresta alveolar presenta una atrofia severa debido al recorrido superficial del canal mandibular. La lateralización del nervio dentario inferior es una alternativa terapéutica que posibilita la colocación de implantes convencionales y cortos en esta región. Objetivo: comparar la facilidad, efectividad y seguridad de la técnica quirúrgica convencional, realizada con fresas quirúrgicas, y la piezocirugía en la lateralización del nervio dentario inferior. Presentación del caso: paciente con ausencia bilateral de los molares inferiores y cresta alveolar atrófica fue tratada mediante lateralización del nervio dentario inferior y colocación simultánea de implantes. En el lado izquierdo, la lateralización fue realizada con fresas y en el lado derecho, con motor piezoeléctrico. Fue posible observar que la piezocirugía facilitó la técnica quirúrgica, y consecuentemente disminuyó el tiempo operatorio. A la vez, produjo una osteotomía más regular y con menos sangrado, lo cual mejoró la visualización del campo operatorio. Finalmente, el daño neural inmediato fue menor en el lado tratado con motor piezoeléctrico y con recuperación más rápida. Después de 3 meses de seguimiento, los implantes en ambos lados no presentaban pérdida ósea. Conclusiones: el uso del motor piezoeléctrico trajo más beneficios durante la lateralización del nervio dentario inferior, por la simplificación de la técnica quirúrgica y la reducción del sangrado y del daño neural en comparación con el uso de fresas convencionales(AU)

Introduction: the rehabilitation of edentulous posterior mandibular patients with bone-integrated implants becomes difficult when the alveolar crest presents a severe atrophy due to the superficial course of the mandibular canal. The inferior alveolar nerve lateralization is a therapeutic alternative that allows the placement of conventional and short implants in this region. Objective: to compare the easiness, effectiveness, and safety of the conventional surgical technique, performed with surgical drills, and piezosurgery in the lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve. Case presentation: a patient with bilateral absence of the lower molars and atrophic alveolar crest was treated by lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve and simultaneous implant placement. On the left side, the lateralization was made with drills and on the right side, with an electric piezotome. It was possible to observe that the piezosurgery facilitated the surgical technique, and consequently decreased the operative time. At the same time, it produced a more regular osteotomy and with less bleeding, which improved the visualization of the operative field. Finally, the immediate neural damage was lower on the side treated with the electric piezotome and with faster recovery. After 3 months of follow-up, the implants on both sides did not show bone loss. Conclusions: the use of the electric piezotome brought more benefits during the lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve, by the simplification of the surgical technique and the reduction of bleeding and neural damage in comparison with the use of conventional drills(AU)

Resección de osteoma fronto-naso-maxilar: desafío anatómico con asistencia de estereolitografía y sistema piezoeléctrico / Resection of fronto-naso-maxillary osteoma: anatomic challenge assisted with stereolithography and piezoelectric system

Los osteomas fronto-etmoidales son los tumores benignos más frecuentes de los senos paranasales, pudiendo evolucionar con complicaciones por compresión de estructuras adyacentes. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 63 años de edad, que consultó por aumento de volumen nasofrontal, cefalea y diplopía. Tras el examen clínico, se evidenció una asimetría facial con lateralización del bulbo ocular derecho y exoftalmo. La tomografía de los senos paranasales mostró una lesión que ocupa parcialmente el seno frontal, etmoidal y parte de la cavidad nasal. Los cuidados anatómicos y planificación quirúrgica se desarrollaron en un modelo estereolitográfico mientras que la cirugía de exéresis total se realizó con ayuda del sistema piezoeléctrico. El examen histológico confirmó el diagnostico de osteoma. Se obtuvo una reconstrucción exitosa, recuperando totalmente simetría y función ocular.

Fronto-ethmoidal osteomas are the most frequent benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses, and may evolve with complications by compression of adjacent structures. The case is a 63-year-old female patient, who consulted about increased nasofrontal volume, headache and diplopia. After the clinical exam, she presented a facial asymmetry with lateralization of the right eyeball and exophthalmus. Computed tomography of the sinuses showed a lesion that partially occupies the frontal sinus, ethmoidal sinus and part of the nasal cavity. The anatomical care and surgical planning was developed in a stereolithographic model while the total excision surgery was performed with the help of the piezoelectric system. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoma. A successful reconstruction is obtained, fully recovering symmetry and ocular function.

There were no statistically significant differences between the groups with regard to pain and trismus in any of the assessed periods (P> ​​0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in edema between the Piezo group and the control group at 3 days post-operatively, with larger edema in the Control group (P = 0.038). However, in the other periods analyzed, there was no difference in edema (P> 0.05). Conclusion: the use of surgical ultrasound in tissue flap detachment in lower third molar extraction surgery resulted in less edema in the initial postoperative stages, but did not influence the other analyzed parameters (trismus and pain)(AU)

A comparative study on the user satisfaction between two different piezoelectric engines

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare the performance of two piezoelectric engine systems by surveying satisfaction from dental clinicians. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two piezoelectric systems were evaluated: TRAUS XUS10 (Saeshin), PIEZOSURGERY touch (Mectron). For this study, 20 dentists responded to the 11 questionnaires in which 5 point Likert-type scale was used. The two devices were operated for 10 seconds and measured 5 times to compare the maximum noise values. In heat emission test, the handpiece was operated for 3 minutes and heat was measured at three positions each. RESULTS: TRAUS XUS10 had higher satisfaction level on motor noise (P < 0.05). About function key and handpiece heat generation, PIEZOSURGERY touch showed higher satisfaction (P < 0.05) than TRAUS XUS10. The maximum noise level for each of the devices was confirmed to be 56.6 dB for the TRAUS XUS10 and 56.0 dB for PIEZOSURGERY touch. The two piezoelectric engines satisfied the safety standards with an operation temperature below 41℃ after having been operated for 3 minutes. CONCLUSION: Except for the function key and handpiece heat emission, TRAUS XUS10 has comparable performance with PIEZOSURGERY touch.

Influence of Piezosurgery on Bone Healing around Titanium Implants: A Histological Study in Rats

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate histomorphometrically the influence of two techniques of dental implant site preparation on bone healing around titanium implants. Fifteen male Wistar rats (±300 g) were used in the study. Each tibia was randomly assigned to receive the implant site preparation either with a conventional drilling technique (control - DRILL group) or with a piezoelectric device (PIEZO group). The animals were sacrificed after 30 days and then the following histomorphometric parameters were evaluated (percentage) separately for cortical and cancellous regions: proportion of mineralized tissue (PMT) adjacent to implant threads (500 μm adjacent); bone area within the threads (BA) and bone-implant contact (BIC). The results demonstrated that there were no statistically significant differences between both groups for cancellous BIC (p>0.05) and cortical PMT (p>0.05). On the other hand, a higher percentage of BA was observed in the PIEZO group in the cortical (71.50±6.91 and 78.28±4.38 for DRILL and PIEZO groups, respectively; p<0.05) and cancellous regions (9.62±4.06 and 19.94±14.18 for DRILL and PIEZO groups, respectively; p<0.05). The piezosurgery also showed higher PMT values in the cancellous zone (9.35±5.54 and 18.72±13.21 for DRILL and PIEZO groups, respectively; p<0.05). However, the DRILL group presented better results for BIC in cortical region (80.42±10.88 and 70.25±16.93 for DRILL and PIEZO groups, respectively; p<0.05). In conclusion, for the implant site preparation, the piezosurgery was beneficial to bone healing rates in the cancellous bone region, while the drill technique produced better results in the cortical bone.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar histomorfometricamente a influência de duas técnicas de preparo para implante dentário sobre a reparação óssea ao redor de implantes de titânio. Foram utilizados 15 ratos machos Wistar, com aproximadamente 300 g. Uma tíbia dos animais foi aleatoriamente selecionada para o preparo do leito para instalação de um implante de titânio com um motor rotatório convencional (Grupo ROTATÓRIO) e a outra com ultrassom cirúrgico piezoelétrico (Grupo PIEZO). Após 30 dias, os animais foram sacrificados e foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros histomorfométricos (em porcentagem), separadamente, para a região cortical e medular: a proporção de tecido mineralizado (PTM) na região adjacente ao implante (500 μm adjacentes); área de tecido mineralizado (AO) dentro dos limites das roscas do implante e a extensão de tecido ósseo em contato direto (CD) com a superfície do implante. Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que não foram observadas diferenças para CD na região medular (p>0,05) e para PTM na região cortical (p>0,05). Por outro lado, um maior preenchimento das roscas foi observado quando utilizou-se ultrassom cirúrgico piezoelétrico tanto na região cortical (71,50±6,91 e 78,28±4,38 para os grupos ROTATÓRIO e PIEZO, respectivamente; p<0,05) quanto na região medular (9,62±4,06 e 19,94±14,18 para os grupos ROTATÓRIO e PIEZO, respectivamente; p<0,05). Resultados semelhantes foram observados para o parâmetro PTM na região medular (9,35±5,54 e 18,72±13,21 para os grupos ROTATÓRIO e PIEZO, respectivamente; p<0,05). No entanto, o grupo ROTATÓRIO foi superior ao grupo PIEZO em relação a CD na região cortical (80,42±10,88 e 70,25±16,93 para os grupos ROTATÓRIO e PIEZO, respectivamente; p<0,05). Pode-se concluir que, para o preparo do leito para implantes, a piezocirurgia favoreceu o reparo ósseo na região medular, enquanto a técnica convencional promoveu melhores resultados no osso cortical.

L'expansion osseuse atraumatique. Technique originale

Le succès biologique de tout traitement implantaire dépend de la présence d'une paroi osseuse protectrice d'au moins 1 mm autour des implants. Cela soulève la question de la résorption osseuse ; la masse osseuse atrophiée est souvent incompatible avec la mise en place conventionnelle de l'implant choisi et l'os nécessite une intervention chirurgicale avant ou pendant la mise en place de l'implant. La technique de dilatation osseuse est indiquée en cas de résorption osseuse horizontale : l'agrandissement chirurgical de la crête permet, à la fin d'une seule séance, une pose immédiate des implants avec un taux de réussite de 97%. Par rapport à d'autres techniques régénératives, l'expansion osseuse permet une réduction significative de la durée et du coût du traitement. Néanmoins, il semble compliqué de l'entreprendre en cas de densité osseuse élevée et souffrent des inconvénients de l'instrumentation traditionnelle. La technique d'expansion osseuse traumatique est une réponse simplifiée aux problèmes de la technique conventionnelle. Par l'association de la piézochirurgie et des expanseurs coniques, il permet de réduire les risques et d'optimiser le confort opératoire. Ce travail vise à illustrer, à travers un cas clinique, le protocole de la technique d'expansion osseuse atraumatique en soulignant ses indications et ses limites

Alveolar ridge splitting for implant installation in atrophic sites: analysis of a case series / División de reborde alveolar para instalación de implantes en sitios atróficos: análisis de una serie de casos

The alveolar ridge splitting technique (ARST) has been developed for close to 20 years, demonstrating effectiveness and efficiency in some cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of the technique in a series of surgical cases using a piezoelectric system. Eleven patients (ASA I and ASA II) were included in this study. Subjects who smoked or who presented previous implant treatments or reconstructive surgeries in the treatment area were excluded. The surgeries took place under local anesthesia without sedation and consisted of a straight crestal incision and subsequent bone management with 4 different types of inserts mounted on a piezoelectric system, which were used gradually on the alveolar crest, moving down approximately 10 mm. Once the approximately 3 mm expansion had been achieved, the implants were installed under controlled torque and the implant sites and defects present were filled with lyophilized bovine bone. In the splitting technique, there was a fracture of the bone plate in 4 cases, although in each case the implants were installed. A total of 34 implants were installed, of which 27 reached 35 N in installation and the rest between 20 N and 35 N. In the second surgery 2 implants were lost. It can be concluded that the technique is predictable, of low morbidity and with rapid treatment completion, presenting limited intraoperative complications.

La técnica de división de reborde alveolar (DRA) tiene cerca de 20 años de evolución demostrando efectividad y eficiencia en algunos casos. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el comportamiento de la técnica en una serie de casos operados con sistema piezoeléctrico. Once pacientes (ASA I y ASA II) fueron incluidos en este estudio; se excluyeron sujetos fumadores o que presentaran tratamientos implantológicos o quirúrgicos reconstructivos previos en el área a tratar; las intervenciones se desarrollaron bajo anestesia local, sin sedación y consistió en una incisión crestal recta y posteriormente el manejo óseo con 4 tipos diferentes de insertos montados en sistema piezoeléctrico los que fueron utilizados gradualmente sobre la cresta alveolar profundizando hasta los 10 mm aproximadamente; una vez obtenida la expansión de 3 mm aproximadamente se procedió a la instalación de implantes bajo torque controlado y relleno con hueso liofilizado bovino de los sitios implantados y defectos presentes. En la técnica de división, en 4 casos existió fractura de la tabla ósea, aunque en todos ellos fueron instalados los implantes. Se instalaron un total de 34 implantes de los cuales 27 consiguieron los 35 N en instalación y el resto presento de entre 20 N y 35 N; en la segunda cirugía se observo una perdida de 2 implantes. Se puede concluir que la técnica es predecible, de baja morbilidad y de rápida finalización de tratamiento, presentando limitadas complicaciones intraoperatorias.

Como objetivo secundário, foi testada a habilidade do ultrassom cirúrgico de estumilar a liberação de citocinas e fatores de crescimento ósseo durante o processo de reparo. Para tanto, dois estudos distintos foram conduzidos. No Estudo 1, 144 ratos foram divididos em 3 grupos (Grupos Broca, LASER e Piezo) com 48 animais cada. Mini implantes usinados foram instalados em ambas as tíbias de cada animal em alvéolos cirúrgicos preparados pelos 3 sistemas testados de acordo com o grupo ao qual o animal pertencia Após a intervenção cirúrgica, 8 animais por grupo foram sacrificados aos 0, 3, 7, 14, 30 e 60 dias pós-operatórios.. O implante da tíbia direita foi utilizado para o ensaio de torque de remoção e o da tíbia esquerda, para análise de ContatoOsso-Implante (COI) e Fração de Área Ocupada por Osso (FAOO). No Estudo 2, 174 animais foram divididos nos mesmos grupos experimentais ­ Broca, Piezo e Laser ­ com 63, 63 e 48 animais cada, respectivamente. Defeitos ósseos de 2mm de diâmetro foram produzidos na tíbia direita dos animais usando um dos três dispositivos testados de acordo com o grupo ao qual o animal foi designado. Oito animais de cada grupo foram sacrificados aos 0, 3, 7, 14 30 e 60 dias e a cicatrização óssea foi analisada por histomorfometria e detecção imunohistoquímica de Osteocalcina, Osteoprotegerina, Rankl, Vegf e Caspase-3. Cinco animais dos Grupos Broca e Piezo foram sacrificados aos 3, 7 e 14 dias e o espécimes coletados foram utilizados para análise de PCR quantitativo (Q-PCR). Os resultados do Estudo 1 demonstraram a osseointegração dos implantes no três grupos estudados. No Grupo Broca a formação óssea ocorreu mais precocemente, porém um aumento significativo no torque de remoção ocorreu somente aos 30 dias. Nos Grupos Laser e Piezo o torque de remoção aumentou precocemente e o reparo ósseo ao redor do implante foi progressivamente aumentado até os períodos tardios. Os resultados do Estudo 2 demonstraram diferenças no padrão de corte do dispositivos testados, onde Proca e Piezo produziram osteotomias regulares enquanto o LASER produziu osteotomias irregulares com carbonização das margens do defeito. A neoformação óssea foi maior nos Grupos Piezo e Laser ao longo dos períodos de reparo, porém essa diferença foi detectada estatisticamente somente aos 30 dias entre grupos Piezo e Broca (p<0.05). A expressão de caspase-3 foi significativamente menor aos 7 dias no Grupo Laser em comparação ao grupo broca. Os resultados do Q-PCR evidenciaram expressões elevadas de Runx2 e Caspase-3 nos grupos Broca e Piezo aos 7 dias, respectivamente (p<0,05). A análise dos resultados permite concluir que as osteotomias produzidas pelos três dispositivos testados são comparáveis, em termos de processo cicatricial e a formação óssea ao redor de implantes; e que o reparo ósseo produzido por ultrassom cirúrgico não possui o reparo ósseo acelerado pela liberação de fatores de crescimento

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone healing process and osseointegration of implants placed in sockets prepared by conventional Drills, Piezosurgery and Er,Cr:YSGG laser. As a secondary objective we tested the hability of Piezosurgery of enhancing the bone repair by releasing of citokynes and growth factor. Therefore, two different studies were conducted. In study 1, 144 rats were assigned to 3 groups: Groups Drill, Laser and Piezo, with 48 animals in each group. Machined mini-implants were placed in both tibiae of each animal in sockets prepared by the three tested systems, according to the group in which it was assigned. After the surgical procedures, 8 animals were sacrificed postoperatively at 0, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days in each group. The implant of the right tibia was used for removal torque test and the left tibia implant was used for Bone-to-Implant Contact (BIC) and Bone Area Fraction Occupancy (BAFO) analysis. In Study 2, 174 animals were ssigned to the same experimental Goups - Drill, Piezo and Laser ­ with 63, 63 and 48 animals in each group. Bone defects with 2mm in diameter were created in the righ tibia of each animal using one of the three tested devices according to the group in which it was assigned. Eight animals of each group was sacrificed at 0, 3, 7, 14 , 30 and 60 days and bone healing were analyzed by means of histomorphometry and immunohistochemical detection of Osteocalcin, Osteoprotegerin, Rankl, Vegf and Caspase-3. Also, 5 animals form Gorups Drill and Piezo were sacrificed at 3, 7 and 14 days and the bone samples were used for quantitative PCR (QPCR) analysis. Results of Study 1 demonstrated implant osseointegration in all experimental groups. The Group Drill presented early bone formation, however, significant increasing in torque removal values occurred only at 30 days. In Groups Laser and Piezo, removal torque increased early and bone healing around the implant was progressively increased until later time-points. Results gotten from Study 2 showed differences on the cut characteristics among the tested devices, where Drill and Piezo produced regular osteotomies whilst Laser produced irregular osteotomies with carbonization at the defect margins. Bone neoformation was higher in Groups Piezo and Laser along the time-points, however, this difference was statistically significant only at 30 days between Groups Piezo and Drill (p<0.05). Expression of Caspase-3 was significantly lower at 7 days in Group Laser in comparison to Group Drill. Results of QPCR analysis demonstrated higher expression of Runx2 and Caspase-3 in Groups Drill and Piezo at 7 days respectively (p<0.05). According to the results it can be concluded that osteotomies produced by the three tested devices are comparable in terms of healing and bone formation around the implants; and piezosurgery has not the ability of accelerate the bone healing by an increased releasing of growth factors

Piezosurgery for surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion under local anesthesia / 华西口腔医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study evaluates piezosurgery for surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) under local anesthesia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>SARME was performed on adults with maxillary transverse deficiency under local anesthesia with a piezosurgical device. Fourteen patients (six males and eight females) underwent lateral maxillary osteotomies, midpalatal osteotomies, and bilateral pterygomaxillary disjunction. The feelings of patients during the operation were determined through questionnaires.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients underwent SARME in the out-patient operating room. The surgical procedures were completed under local anesthesia. All patients exhibited satisfactory tolerance. Ultrasonic bone-cutting surgery was recently introduced as a feasible alternative to the conventional tools of cranio-maxillofacial surgery for its technical characteristics of precision and safety. The device used was unique in that cutting action occurred when the tool was employed on mineralized tissues, but stoped on soft tissues. The results of the questionnaires showed that eight (57.14%) patients felt a mild sensation of ultrasonic vibration, tweleve (85.7 1%) felt mild tolerable pain and tooth soreness during surgery, and eleven (78.57%) felt little fear and hardly heard the ultrasonic sound. Preoperative and postoperative six months later measurements showed an evident effect of expansion.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Piezosurgery enabled patients to undergo all the steps of SARME under local anesthesia, but more cases and longer follow-up are needed to verif ' the results.</p>

Onlay bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, and alveolar ridge split technique are considered reliable bone augmentation methods on the horizontally atrophic alveolar ridge. Among these techniques, alveolar ridge split procedures are technique-sensitive and difficult to perform in the posterior mandible. This case report describes successful implant placement with the use of piezoelectric hinge-assisted ridge split technique in an atrophic posterior mandible.

Rapid orthodontics with flapless piezoelectric corticotomies: first clinical experiences / Ortodoncia rápida con corticotomías piezoeléctricas sin colgajo: primeras experiencias clínicas

One of the biggest challenges an orthodontic patient faces is the time spent wearing brackets. Over the years, several surgical techniques have been developed to address this issue and reduce the overall treatment time. These combine bone-healing mechanisms with orthodontic loads to accelerate tooth movement. Although effective, these techniques are also quite invasive in nature, requiring the elevation of buccal and lingual full-thickness flaps with extensive decortications of the buccal and lingual alveolar bone. Moreover, these techniques run the risk of teeth devitalization, avascular necrosis of the osseous block, alveolar resorption, and the risks of complications, with low acceptance by the patient. This manuscript reports three cases treated with a novel, flapless approach for minimally invasive rapid orthodontic (MIRO). This procedure includes radiographic-guided micro incisions and localized piezoelectric corticotomies. The clinical implications of this technique are discussed herein. MIRO reduces orthodontic treatment time, avoiding the reported adverse effects of accelerated orthodontics.

Uno de los mayores desafíos que enfrenta un paciente de ortodoncia es el tiempo que lleva usar brackets. A través de los años, varias técnicas quirúrgicas se han desarrollado para hacer frente a este problema y reducir el tiempo total de tratamiento. Estas combinan los mecanismos de cicatrización ósea, con cargas de ortodoncia para acelerar el movimiento de los dientes. Aunque eficaz, estas técnicas son bastante invasivas, que requieren la elevación de colgajos bucales y linguales de espesor total con decorticaciones extensas del hueso alveolar bucal y lingual. Por otra parte, con estas técnicas se corre el riesgo de desvitalización dentaria, necrosis avascular del bloque óseo, reabsorción alveolar, y los riesgos de complicaciones, con baja aceptación por parte del paciente. Este trabajo reporta tres casos tratados con un nuevo enfoque sin colgajo para ortodoncia rápida mínimamente invasiva (MIRO - minimally invasive rapid orthodontic). Este procedimiento incluye microincisiones guiadas por radiografías y corticotomías piezoeléctricas localizadas. Las implicaciones clínicas de esta técnica se analizan en este documento. MIRO reduce el tiempo de tratamiento de ortodoncia, evitando los efectos adversos reportados por la ortodoncia acelerada.
