An implant site preparation method comprising the following steps: lifting of the muco-periosteal flaps ( 9, 10 ) of the operating area, so as to expose an area of bone ( 11 ) in which the procedure is to be performed; application of a tip ( 35 ) of an insert ( 3 ) of an ultrasound handpiece ( 1 ) to said involved area of bone ( 11 ); vibration of said tip ( 35 ) at ultrasound frequency and simultaneous irrigation of said involved area of bone ( 11 ) with cooling fluid through a channel which passes through said insert and opens in the tip of said insert; and application with the hand on the handpiece of a light pressure combined with an angular oscillating movement, so that the tip ( 35 ) of the insert presses on the bone cortex ( 11 ), in the area chosen for the implant site, until a hole ( 12 ) is obtained of a suitable depth for the length of the chosen implant.
