Piezoelectric surgery is a safe and effective alternative to standard drilling in implant bed preparation, with equivalent ISQ and MBL values. More high-quality research is needed to evaluate the long-term stability and bone loss values of these two approaches, as well as to investigate the safety of piezoelectric surgery in rapid loading procedures. To clarify these findings, more clinical trials with bigger samples and longer-term studies are required. In our experience we have observed that piezo-osteotomy appears to be a promising and reliable instrument that provides with several advantages in terms of surgical outcomes as well as patients comfort. It offers precise and selective bony cutting, good margins for easy approximation and interdigitation of the bone, minimal wastage of the bone without causing any deleterious effects on the adjacent soft tissues and neurovascular bundles. And though the amount of time taken, the breakage and cost of the inserts are more, its advantages and efficacy in reducing the complications are far more profitable when compared to any other conventional procedures. Therefore, we conclude that piezosurgery is a newer and safer innovation.
