Periotome Versus Peizotome as an Aid of Atraumatic Extraction.
Periotome Versus Peizotome as an Aid of Atraumatic Extraction.
This study aims to compare between periotome and piezotome in terms of efficiency and durability in procedures of simple extractions as an alternative atraumatic extraction technique.
Teeth extraction is one of the commonly preformed procedures in the dental clinics, and one of the most important precautions followed during the different techniques of teeth extraction is tissue preservation and the avoidance of tissue trauma. So, for the preservation of bone and tissues integrity and elimination of post operative pain and discomfort, atraumatic extraction techniques are presented.
A claim has risen that due to its thin tips which is inserted vertically to the PDL avoiding the leveraging forces caused by conventional elevators, Periotome will aid in the reduction of soft tissue injury and the preservation of bone integrity. While Piezotome which is a newer and innovative device using ultrasonic vibrations mainly for the purpose of osteotomy is considered very efficient due to its selective cutting and being inert against soft tissues, including nerves and blood vessels. leading to lesser cell necrosis and faster bone regeneration providing a minimally invasive atraumatic extraction technique.
And with the rapid development of implantology and painless dentistry, the demands on more efficient, minimally invasive and more durable atraumatic extraction techniques has increased.
This study aims to compare between periotome and piezotome in terms of efficiency and durability in procedures of simple extractions as an alternative atraumatic extraction technique.
