Abstract
Introduction: Piezosurgery is an emerging boom in the field of maxillofacial surgery for precise, safe and effective osteotomies sparing the adjacent vital structures compared to conventional surgery. Corpus: It works on the principle of piezoelectric effect in which crystals in the piezoelectric substances get deformed on the application of an electric field. Various studies gave the evidence of improved wound healing and bone formation compared to conventional approaches. The soft tissue sparing capability with improved patient comfort and decreased blood loss gave the utmost importance for this surgical technique in the present as well as future world of surgery. Conclusion: Piezosurgery has emerging as a promising surgical modality with a wide range of clinical applications throughout the whole field of surgery.

An overview on the art of piezosurgery in the maxillofacial practiceAbstract -- Introduction: Piezosurgery is an emerging boom in the field of maxillofacial surgery for precise, safe and effective osteotomies sparing the adjacent vital structures compared to conventional surgery
Piezosurgery is a recently advanced surgical technique for sectioning the hard tissues sparing the adjacent soft tissues such as brain, neurovascular structures and mucosa
Later in 2000 Italian oral surgeon Tomaso Vercellotti developed the new technique of piezosurgery to overcome the limits of traditional instrumentation in oral bone surgery by modifying the conventional ultrasound technology [3]
