This book from the inventor of Piezosurgery provides the practical information clinicians need to successfully integrate piezoelectric bone surgery into their practices to improve outcomes in oral surgery and dental implantology. The first half of the book introduces basic piezoelectric principles, including the clinical characteristics of piezoelectric cutting, the technology of the ultrasonic device, and the ultra-osseointegration process, and a surgical skills chapter includes practical exercises to prepare readers to use the piezoelectric device. The clinical chapters in the second half of the book guide readers through step-by-step piezoelectric surgical protocols for dental extractions, implantology, sinus augmentation, bone grafting, and ridge expansion, followed by case studies illustrating each technique. This book is an excellent reference for readers looking for a comprehensive introduction to Piezosurgery as well as experienced clinicians interested in perfecting these precise and minimally invasive techniques.

Tomaso Vercellotti, MD, DDS is the inventor of Piezosurgery and the developer of several piezoelectric surgical protocols, which have been published in numerous prestigious publications. Dr Vercellotti is Founder and International Chairman of the International Piezoelectric Bone Surgery Academy (IPA), Honorary Professor and Faculty at the University College of London Eastman Dental Institute, and Honorary Member of the Schluger-Ammons Study Club. He is an active member of numerous professional associations and the 2005 recipient of the Andi Award from the Italian Dental Association (AIO) for scientific and cultural merit. He has authored some of the most important scientific and clinical studies on piezoelectric bone surgery as well as the book Essentials in Piezosurgery: Clinical Advantages in Dentistry (Quintessence, 2009). Dr Vercellotti has dedicated over 30 years to the rehabilitation of complex cases and currently maintains a private practice specializing in periodontology and implantology in Genoa, Italy.
