Periodontitis is the commonest diseases in the oral cavity. It is defined as inflammation of the Periodontium and alveolar bone with periodontal pocket formation, gingival recession, or both. The various Treatment modalities include non-surgical and surgical methods, but the common drawbacks of these methods are profuse bleeding, pain, and infection which causes discomfort to the patient. To overcome this, in the era of modern dentistry has an innovative surgical technique which was developed and is referred as "Piezosurgery". Piezosurgery is defined as a process that utilizes piezoelectric vibrations in the application of cutting bone tissue. It promotes rapid healing, reduces damages to osteocytes, and permits good survival of bone cells during bone harvesting. It is extremely selective and correct nature makes its path extended to interdisciplinary approaches. This article discusses the new scope of piezoelectric surgery within the field of Periodontology and Oral Implantology.
