Piezoelectric surgery
Piezoelectric bone surgery is a process that utilizes
piezoelectric vibrations in the application of cutting bone tissue. The process was patented by Fernando Bianchetti, Domenico Vercellotti, and Tomaso Vercellotti.[1] It was first used clinically in 1988.[2] It is indicated for use in oral, maxillofacial, cranial and spinal procedures;[citation needed] but is mainly used in orthodontics and craniofacial surgery.[3]
By adjusting the
