Abstract EN
The most common adverse effect after bone cutting is a thermal damage.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the bone temperature rise during an alveolar ridge splitting, rating the time needed to perform this procedure and the time to raise the temperature of a bone by 10°C, as well as to evaluate the bone carbonization occurrence.
The research included 60 mandibles (n=60) of adult pigs, divided into 4 groups (n=15).
Two vertical and one horizontal cut have been done in an alveolar ridge using Er:YAG laser with set power of 200 mJ (G1), 400 mJ (G2), piezosurgery unit (G3), and a saw (G4).
The temperature was measured by K-type thermocouple.
The highest temperature gradient was noted for piezosurgery on the buccal and lingual side of mandible.
The temperature rises on the bone surface along with the increase of laser power.
The lower time needed to perform ridge splitting was measured for a saw, piezosurgery, and Er:YAG laser with power of 400 mJ and 200 mJ, respectively.
The temperature rise measured on the bone over 10°C and bone carbonization occurrence was not reported in all study groups.
Piezosurgery, Er:YAG laser (200 mJ and 400 mJ), and surgical saw are useful and safe tools in ridge splitting surgery.
