Piezoelectric Surgery
Often in dental surgeries, we use our trusty "drill" to section teeth and recontour bone. However there are situations where a piezo machine is better than a drill. At
American Dental Centre in Taipa - Macau, we have upgraded to the
latest piezo electric machine for our surgical need. Advantages of piezo surgery vs traditional "drill" include:
1. More precision and more visibility for the dentist due to less trauma to tissue.
2. This technology uses ultrasonic vibration instead of spinning drill to remove hard tissue, while leave the soft tissues intact.
3. Better safety around vital structures (nerve, artery)
4. More comfortable for the patient, during the procedure, and the post-op healing period.
5. Less traumatic to the tissue vs the drill, so wisdom tooth or complicated extractions are more comfortable to the patients.
Research below has shown piezoelectric tooth extractions are preferred over traditional "drill" extractions due to significant faster healing time and less postoperative pain.
