| Abstract | ||||
| Aim: This study aimed to compare piezosurgery and conventional saw osteotomy and evaluate the impact of the two surgical tools on operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative edema & Coagulative bone necrosis in genioplasty. Materials and Methods: Ten patients undergoing genioplasty were divided into two groups. In Group A (n=5), piezosurgery was used for osteotomy on the right side, and a conventional saw on the left. In Group B (n=5), the osteotomy tools were reversed. All parameters were assessed and compared between the two techniques. Results: The operation time was longer with piezosurgery compared to the conventional saw. Regarding blood loss and Coagulative bone necrosis the Saw group demonstrated higher than piezosurgery. However, there was no significant difference in the amount of postoperative edema between the two techniques Conclusion: While piezoelectric surgery offers advantages in bone healing, reduced blood loss, and decreased bone necrosis in mandibular orthognathic procedures, it is associated with longer operative times and does not significantly reduce postoperative edema compared to conventional saw techniques. | ||||
