W&H | Dental products for dentistry

Dr José Carlos Rosas Díaz, former Director of the School of Stomatology at the Universidad Privada San Juan Bautista (UPSJB) in Lima, Peru, holds a master’s degree in stomatology and serves as a researcher at the UPSJB. He is a specialist in Comprehensive Oral Rehabilitation, Comprehensive Oral Implantology, and Periodontology. In the interview, he explains how piezosurgical techniques enable a more precise and tissue-preserving extraction of impacted wisdom teeth, thereby reducing postoperative discomfort such as pain and swelling.

Piezo surgery allows for precise, tissue sparing osteotomy during third molar extraction and contributes to a safe and well controlled surgical procedure. It facilitates third molar extraction by eliminating the need for chisels or rotary instruments during the osteotomy that provides surgical access to the wisdom tooth. In this article, Dr. José Carlos Rosas, together with other authors, describes the steps of this procedure in detail.

Oral surgery and implantology are becoming increasingly complex, driven by digital workflows and interfaces. As a result, stand-alone solutions are reaching their limits. What today’s practices demand are fully integrated, end-to-end systems. This is exactly what the W&H Oral Surgery Compass represents. Designed as a practical guide, it supports clinicians throughout the entire treatment process – from diagnosis and digital planning to safe execution, as well as monitoring and documentation. The result is a seamlessly connected ecosystem in which devices, software and digital processes work hand in hand, enabling predictable outcomes, efficient workflows and a dental practice that is well-prepared for the future.
