Abstract
A method of positioning a dental implant in a jaw bone using a piezoelectric cutting tool is provided. Ultrasonic vibration is generated with the piezoelectric cutting tool. The piezoelectric cutting tool is translated in a lateral direction to form a first cut into the jaw bone and to form a second cut into the jaw bone. The second cut intersects the first cut to define a multi-slotted aperture in the jaw bone for receiving at least one dental implant. The dental implant is inserted in the multi-slotted aperture from the lateral direction.
