TY - JOUR TI - Histopathological, Histochemical and Histomorphometrical Investigation of the Effects of Different Piezosurgery Tools on Tissues: Experimental Study AB - Objective: Piezoelectric surgical instruments are widely used in medicine and dentistry. Devices with new features are produced day by day and offered to surgeons. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of new and old generation piezosurgery instruments and conventional rotary hand tools on bone after osteotomy histopathologically, histochemically and histomorphometrically. Material and Methods: In the parietal bones of 12 rabbits, bone defects with a diameter of 8 mm were created with two different piezosurgery tools and a conventional rotary tool. Animals were sacrificed on the 7th and 21st days and evaluated histopathologically, histochemically and histomorphometrically the amounts of new bone formation, sequestration, connective tissue, fibrin and cartilage and percentages of full-empty area in the total area. Results: In the histopathological examinations, the least sequestra formation was observed in the new generation piezosurgery group. In the histomorphometric analysis, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean of new bone and total area measurements in all groups on the 7th day (p<0.05) but there was no statistically significant difference between the mean and medians of the values in all groups on the 21st day (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the histopathological evaluation, it was determined that filling (both bone and connective tissue) in the defect areas in the new generation piezosurgery group was higher in the short term follow up compared to other groups, but there was no significant difference between the groups in the midterm follow up.
