Descrizione

The extraction of impacted dental elements is often referred to maxillofacial surgeons. However, it can be handled as routinely as any other type of extraction. Piezoelectric surgery of impacted teeth, which involves reproducible procedures using a step-by-step approach in all types of cases, also allows dentists who approach the extraction of impacted elements less frequently to carefully prepare for the procedure and perform it, thereby minimizing possible postsurgical issues for the patient, such as biological risks. Using the most innovative techniques, including the application of ultrasound in oral surgery and piezoelectric surgery, the author provides an indispensable tool to train and update dentists who intend to perform all types of extractions. Strengths •This manual presents a protocol—unique in its kind—for the extraction of impacted teeth with the use of a piezoelectric instrument. •This is the first manual to examine piezoelectric surgery of all impacted dental elements (not only wisdom teeth); in other volumes, the patient is treated only in individual chapters. •The clarity of the text is enhanced with images and surgical photographs that illustrate every step of the cases presented.
