Up until now, only a limited number of evidence-based studies with different results has evaluated traumatic nerve injury after maxillofacial surgery using piezoelectric devices versus rotary instruments. The present experiment was performed to evaluate damage to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), histologically, after osteotomy of the buccal cortex of the mandible using piezoelectric devices versus surgical handpieces. Forty rabbits underwent bilateral osteotomy of the mandibular buccal cortex. For the osteotomy of one side, piezoelectric devices were used, and for the other, conventional rotary handpieces. After cleavage of the osteotomised cortical bone segments, the exposed part of the IAN was excised and examined histologically for nerve injury. IAN damage was scored histologically from Grade 0 (no nerve damage) to Grade 4 (complete nerve transection). It was found that 25% and 17.5% of nerves had Grade 0; 17.5% and 10% had Grade 1; 25% and 20% had Grade 2; 17.5% and 27.5% had Grade 3; and 15% and 25% had Grade 4 injury in piezosurgery and rotary groups, respectively. Statistical analyses revealed no significant difference between groups in damage to the IAN. The present study showed that piezosurgery devices, similar to conventional rotary instruments, have the potential to cause severe nerve damage during surgery and should therefore be used with care.
