A New Syndesmotomy Technique for Tooth Extractions to Preserve the Alveolar Bone
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
In both surgical and nor surgical tooth extractions, the first phase is done by syndesmotomy. This procedure allows to interrupt the fibers of the periodontal ligament. Traditionally, syndesmotomy is done by manual instruments. Usually, the manual approach leads to the loss of the vestibular cortical plate due to the size of those instruments. The piezoelectric surgery device provides an alternative to manual instruments. Its advantages are: selectivity for hard tissues; better cut control; protection of soft tissue, vessels and nerves; post-op pain and discomfort reduction. The aim of this study is to evaluate a piezosurgery driven syndesmotomy technique during tooth extraction.

Piezoelectric syndesmotomy
Syndesmotomy, the first phase of tooth extraction, will be provided by a piezoelectric device instead of manual instruments.
