Sonosurgery project originates, as a Piezosurgery alternative, from the need of increasing horizontal space for atrophic crests in order to place a new implant, when performing split crest osteotomies, post extraction implant placement, bone augmentation throught sinus lift in oral surgery

Air vibrating handpieces (SONICflex Kavo type) quite different from the piezoelectric tools (like piezosurgery) develop a very complex orbital oscillation,  three-dimensionally oriented, which allows the making of sharp edges with lots of angles.

Traditional bone cut techniques are performed either by rotary tools (cutters and discs) or manual tools (chisels and osteotome). However they often prove to be very dangerous, as  they are difficult to be controlled, especially in hardly approachable areas of the mouth. Vibrating tools have a great advantage over rotating ones.

Infact they have a great ablation skill on mineralized tissue and a poor skill to cut soft tissues, that way protecting them from damage. This fact has obviously led to a considerable increase in safety by the surgeon. The strict control of cutting tools, in oral surgery is achieved because they do not develop torque forces,  unlikely oscillating rotary appliances, which may accidentally and dangerously cause the shifting of sharp tips.

The oscillating handpieces generate linear or curved repeated regular movements
