Piezoelectric vs. conventional tools for jaw surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares a new, gentler surgical tool called piezosurgery (which uses ultrasound vibrations) with standard tools for jaw repositioning surgery. It aims to see if piezosurgery causes less damage to nearby tissues and speeds up recovery.

This study tests a new way to remove a single-rooted tooth (like a front tooth) while helping preserve the jawbone. It might be a good option if you need a tooth pulled and want to keep the bone healthy for future implants or healing.
This study compares two methods for removing lower wisdom teeth before they are fully grown. It uses a special ultrasound tool (piezoelectric) versus traditional surgical tools to see which is gentler and leads to faster healing.
This study looks at two different ways of doing jaw surgery to see which one gives better stability and healing. If you are already planning to have jaw surgery, this study may help improve how well your jaw stays in place after the procedure.
This study checks whether the “O-bridge protocol” helps people who need jaw surgery—either for osteonecrosis of the jaw or for oral/jaw tumors—followed by dental implant placement to support fixed teeth (not removable dentures). The goal is to improve your ability to eat, speak, and get a stable tooth replacement plan after surgery.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating medication-related jaw bone problems (MRONJ): one using a special vibrating tool (piezoelectric) and the other using conventional tools. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This study tests a new way to lift the sinus membrane and create space for dental implants, using a special technique that may be gentler than standard methods. It may be an option if you are missing upper back teeth and need extra bone height for implants.
