Autogenous Ramus Bone Block Harvesting With Piezosurgery

In this invervention, the piezo-surgical device settings were set to irrigation: '4', function: 'cortical', light: 'auto'. After the full-thickness flap was lifted with the periosteal elevator, superior and vertical osteotomies were performed with the OT-12 piezo-surgical tip. Lower horizontal osteotomies were performed using OT8-L or OT-8-R piezo tips according to the studied quadrant, combining the vertical osteotomy.

In control group, After the full-thickness flap is lifted with the periosteal elevator, using a thin #9 fissure burand the surgical handpiece S-11 Straight tip , the physiodispenser settings are according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The osteotomy was performed after it was adjusted to 40,000 rpm as appropriate. Bone incisions were completed with a round bur to combine the lower horizontal osteotomies and 2 vertical osteotomies. The osteotomies were completed with the help of a thin flat drill, and the block graft was carefully separated from the donor site.
