Instrumentos piezoelétricos são superiores à fresagem convencional na instalação de implantes?

Abstract

The stability of dental implants is technically sensitive and the chosen cortical drilling modality can influence the clinical success of the implants. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the use of piezoelectric instruments compared to the use of conventional drilling in the implant installation process. To do this, searches will be carried out in the PUBMED database, using “dental implant”, “piezosurgery” and “conventional drill” as descriptors with “and” as an integrative search tool. There will be no restrictions regarding the year, date of publication and country of origin of the studies. It was possible to note that the piezoelectric technique is a viable alternative to the conventional technique. Furthermore, it is highly promising due to its less traumatic aspect, promoting a faster healing and osseointegration process. However, there is a need for more studies regarding piezoelectricity in the area of implant dentistry, especially studies that address long-term results and that use a wider range of analyzed parameters, remedying some of the limitations found in the studies, to correctly evaluate its advantages over conventional methods.
