Autogenous Ramus Bone Block Harvesting With Piezosurgery

The aim of this randomized prospective clinical trial was to evaluate the outcome of bone block harvesting from the retromolar region using the Conventional and Piezosurgery Method. The study was planned on 19 patients (13F,6M) on 31 donor sites. In patients with bilateral bone harvesting, the donor site and the surgical method to be used were determined by the randomization protocol, while in patients with bone harvesting from a single site, the donor site was determined by considering parameters such as proximity to the operation site and distance to the inferior alveolar nerve. Clinical parameters such as operation time, pain, swelling, trismus, nerve damage were evaluated.
