NEW ADVANCES IN PIEZOCISION:
HOW TO INCORPORATE THEM IN
DENTAL PRACTICE
PROF. SERGE DIBART
(Boston University, USA)
November 7th, 2015
Vilnius, Lithuania
Piezocision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at accelerating orthodontic tooth
movement. It can be used for full orthodontic cases (with conventional orthodontics or clear
aligners) or segmentally incorporated into multidisciplinary treatments to help achieve optimal
restorative results that are pleasing esthetically and functionally. Its minimally invasive nature is
not just limited to minimal post-surgical morbidity but allows, because of the strategic use of
accelerated orthodontics in positioning teeth in their preferred position, minimal tooth removal
during restorative rehabilitations. A well accepted procedure, it is a new tool in our surgical
armamentarium that is promoting multidisciplinary collaboration for the highest benefit of the
patient.
Learning objective: At the end of this lecture participants will understand the biology behind
piezocision and will be able to see how they can incorporate it in their daily practice.
Prof. S. Dibart is the head of the Department of Periodontology at Boston University, Henri M.
Goldman School of Dentistry. He is the main author of six textbooks related to periodontal plastic
surgery, periodontology, osseous surgery, has published around 100 international papers and did
many presentations at international meetings. Prof. S. Dibart has big experience in dental implants,
periodontal plastic surgery and is inventor of the Piezocision technique.
