Summary

This study compares a new ultrasonic cutting tool (piezosurgery) to standard saws and drills in jaw repositioning surgery. About 70 adults will be randomly assigned to one method to see if piezosurgery reduces nerve damage, blood loss, and recovery time. The goal is to find a safer, more sustainable technique for common orthognathic procedures.
