Bone Flap Technique With Piezosurgery for Impacted Teeth Extraction and Bone Cysts Removal Without Additional Fixation

To explore a new surgical approach for impacted teeth extraction and cystectomy using piezosurgery that provides proper bone healing in normal anatomical structure without additional fixation and graft materials. In cases with intact and relatively thicker vestibular compact bone, a bone flap design was used with converging osteotomy lines made with piezosurgery tips which allow proper stabilization after enucleation or extraction. Procedure was performed in 10 patients with 9 to 36 months follow-up resulted in satisfactory healing without any complications. Comparing to traditional techniques, effective enucleation and accelerated bone regeneration are achieved, with reduced risk of complications, operation time, and costs.
