Micromorphometrical and histological analyses using two different oscillating osteotomy techniques compared with conventional rotary osteotomy.

The recently introduced ultrasonic osteotome procedure is an alternative to conventional rotatory burs. The aim of this study was to establish the differences between two ultrasonic osteotomes and conventional rotatory burs, in order to perform micromorphological and histological analyses of osteotomized bone surfaces. Bony samples were taken from adult bovine ribs including both the cortical and marrow bone. Soft tissues have been removed and the bone pieces were divided into four groups, to test four devices: a conventional osteotomy round bur, a Lindeman bur and piezoelectric osteotomes ES007 and the T-Black. Each device performed cuts that were examined via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light microscopy (LM) to check respectively cut precision and bone architecture all along the defect borders. SEM analysis of specimens showed that burs created defects of greater width and with irregular edges while those produced by ultrasonic osteotomes were narrow and had mostly smooth cutting surfaces. The edges of incisions made by drills were full of bone fragments while less bone chips were observed on piezoincisions ones. Dimensions of fragments were wider if cuts were made by burs too. LM analysis of samples showed focally, delicate bony trabecules crushed and pressed into the bone marrow in cutting made by burs. Samples cut by ultrasonic devices showed small or no smear layer and only partial or no crushed trabecules. Osteocytes seemed to be intact all along the cutting surface in all samples observed. In the present study, according to literature, ultrasonic surgery validity is confirmed. As a matter of fact, the greater the number of bone chips products, the greater the magnitude of the inflammatory process induced, as well as the possibility of a greater bone loss and delay in wound healing near the osteotomized area.
