Sponsor's own description

Purpose: Recent advances showed that ultrasonic implant site osteotomy is related with a decreased trauma and a better post operative healing of the surgical site if compared to the traditional drilling techniques. The micrometric bone cutting control and the operative advantages related to the piezoelectric approach is also characterized by a learning curve for the clinician in surgical practice and an increased operative duration of the procedure. The aim of this investigation was to compare the operative time, the post operative pain and the patients frequency of intake of painkillers in the healing period. Methods: A total of 75 patients were treated at the Unit of Oral Surgery (Department of Medical Sciences, Surgery and Health, University of Trieste, Italy) in a split mouth model: 75 drill-inserted implants (G1) and 75 piezoelectric device- inserted implants (G2). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was performed to evaluate the post-operative pain at 15 days from the surgery. The operative time and frequency of intake of painkillers was measured.
