Comparing Piezosurgery and Rotary Drills for Dental Implant Site Preparation: 5-Year Results

Posted: December 18, 2024
A randomized controlled trial compared dental implant site preparation using piezosurgery or conventional rotary drills in partially edentulous patients. Results after 5 years showed no significant differences in implant/crown failures, complications, bone loss, or resonance frequency analysis between the two methods. Piezosurgery required more time but had similar outcomes to rotary drills, with the latter being faster. Initial soft tissue thickness did not affect bone loss around implants. The study emphasizes the comparable effectiveness of both techniques in implant site preparation.
