Abstract
Ultrasonic bone-cutting surgery has been introduced asa feasible alternative to the conventional sharp instruments used incraniomaxillofacial surgery because of its precision and safety. Thedevice used is unique in that the cutting action occurs when the toolis used on mineralized tissues and stops on soft tissues.
