Introduction Ultrasonic bone surgery, or piezosurgery, is a novel technique utilizing ultrasonic vibrations to cut bone while minimizing damage to adjacent soft tissues. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of ultrasonic bone surgery among periodontology and oral surgery postgraduate students in Maharashtra, India. Methods A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among 180 postgraduate students (84 in periodontology and 96 in oral surgery). A Google Form questionnaire (Google LLC, Mountain View, CA, United States) with 15 close-ended questions was distributed via email. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 25 (IBM Corp. Released 2017. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) employing frequency percentages and Pearson Chi-square tests for intergroup comparisons. Results Of the participants, 80 (95.3%) of periodontology and 91 (94.7%) of oral surgery postgraduates were aware of ultrasonic bone surgery. Significant differences were found in the knowledge of critical bone damage temperature (p=0.009) and postoperative complications (p=0.037), with periodontology postgraduates showing higher awareness. Both groups recognized ultrasonic bone surgery's precision, safety, and reduced trauma advantages. Overall knowledge and awareness were higher among periodontology postgraduates (n=84, 87.5%) than oral surgery postgraduates (n=96, 78.3%). Conclusion Both groups demonstrated a good understanding of ultrasonic bone surgery, with periodontology postgraduates showing notably higher awareness. These findings underscore the importance of integrating ultrasonic bone surgical techniques into dental education to enhance patient care and keep pace with technological advancements. Further studies with larger sample sizes across India are recommended.
引言 超声骨手术，即压电手术，是一种利用超声振动切割骨骼同时将对相邻软组织的损伤降至最低的新技术。本研究旨在评估印度马哈拉施特拉邦牙周病学和口腔外科研究生对超声骨手术的了解和认识。方法 对180名研究生（84名牙周病学专业和96名口腔外科专业）进行了一项基于问卷调查的横断面研究。通过电子邮件分发了一份包含15个封闭式问题的谷歌表单问卷（谷歌有限责任公司，美国加利福尼亚州山景城）。使用SPSS Statistics 25版（IBM公司。2017年发布。适用于Windows的IBM SPSS Statistics，版本25.0。纽约州阿蒙克：IBM公司）进行数据分析，采用频率百分比和Pearson卡方检验进行组间比较。结果 在参与者中，80名（95.3%）牙周病学研究生和91名（94.7%）口腔外科研究生知晓超声骨手术。在关键骨损伤温度（p=0.009）和术后并发症（p=0.037）的知识方面存在显著差异，牙周病学研究生的知晓率更高。两组都认识到超声骨手术的精确性、安全性和减少创伤的优点。牙周病学研究生（n=84，87.5%）的总体知识和认识高于口腔外科研究生（n=96，78.3%）。结论 两组对超声骨手术都有较好的理解，牙周病学研究生的知晓率明显更高。这些发现强调了将超声骨手术技术纳入牙科教育以提高患者护理水平并跟上技术进步的重要性。建议在印度进行更大样本量的进一步研究。
