Cytokines and Growth Factors Involved in the Osseointegration of Oral Titanium Implants Positioned using Piezoelectric Bone Surgery Versus a Drill Technique: A Pilot Study in Minipigs.

Cytokines and Growth Factors Involved in the Osseointegration of Oral Titanium Implants Positioned using Piezoelectric Bone Surgery Versus a Drill Technique: A Pilot Study in Minipigs.

Background: Most dental implants are positioned using a drilling surgery technique. However, dentistry recently experienced the implementation of piezoelectric surgery. This technique was introduced to overcome some of the limitations involving rotating...
Changes in implant stability using different site preparation techniques: twist drills versus PIEZOSURGERY®. A single-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Changes in implant stability using different site preparation techniques: twist drills versus PIEZOSURGERY®. A single-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Purpose: The objective of the present investigation was to longitudinally monitor stability changes of implants inserted using traditional rotary instruments or piezoelectric inserts, and to follow their variations during the first 90 days of healing. Stacchi C,...
