Piezoelectric surgery is a new bone cutting and reshaping technique that uses a device based on ultrasound microvibrations. The specific amplitude of this vibration allows for cutting mineralized tissue with great efficiency while respecting soft tissue, which is not damaged even by direct contact with the scalpel tip.

Furthermore, the cavitation effect of the sterile water coming out of the handpiece, typical of ultrasound, promotes a better view of the operating field and allows the operator to approach delicate anatomical structures such as the nerves and the maxillary sinus more safely.
