Abstract

Minimally invasive techniques in dentistry have revolutionized surgical outcomes, reducing patient morbidity and improving recovery times. This article explores the latest advancements in minimally invasive dental surgery, supported by recent case reports from the *Journal of Surgical Case Reports and Images*. Key areas include piezoelectric bone surgery, laser-assisted procedures, and computer-guided implantology. The discussion highlights clinical efficacy, patient benefits, and future directions in dental surgery. 

Introduction

Minimally invasive dentistry (MID) has gained significant traction in recent years, driven by technological advancements and a growing emphasis on patient-centered care (1). The *Journal of Surgical Case Reports and Images* has documented numerous innovative techniques that minimize tissue trauma while enhancing precision (2). This review synthesizes current evidence on MID, focusing on piezoelectric surgery, laser applications, and digital workflows in implantology. 

Piezoelectric Bone Surgery: A Paradigm Shift

Piezoelectric devices utilize ultrasonic vibrations to cut bone selectively, sparing soft tissues—a breakthrough in oral surgery (3). Recent case reports demonstrate its efficacy in sinus lifts, extractions, and ridge expansions (4). Compared to conventional burs, piezoelectric surgery reduces bleeding, swelling, and nerve damage (5). A 2023 study reported a 20

Conclusion

Minimally invasive dental surgery, as evidenced by recent case reports, offers significant advantages over traditional methods. Continued innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration will further optimize patient care in oral surgery.
