Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator to Treat Deep Infrabony Defects: A New Flapless Minimally Invasive Approach

Figure 5

This sequence shows an infrasulcular approach to fragment the tissue. The sonotrode was inserted in a periodontal pocket (a). The tip of the device, placed in contact with the tissues, destroys and emulsifies cells that are irrigated and removed through a built-in suction tube (b). After CUSA treatment, a blood clot fills the target area (c, d).
