Abstract: Piezosurgery is a new innovating technique used to perform safe and effective osteotomies using piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrations. It was conceived by Tomaso Vercellotti, MD, DDS, and it was first reported for preprosthetic surgery, as alveolar crest expansion, sinus grafting, and, more recently, alveolar distraction. The purpose of this report was to introduce and justify the use of Piezosurgery to perform osteotomies during mandibular distraction in cases of hemifacial microsomia.
