3D Evaluation of Facial Swelling Post Impacted Lower Third Molars Surgery: RCT

Three-dimensional Facial Swelling Evaluation of Piezo-electric Versus Conventional Drilling Bur Surgery of Impacted Lower Third Molar: a Randomized Clinical Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 22 (actual)
• Sponsor: Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Policlinico "G. Martino" · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 40 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Aim of the study is to evaluate the swelling following the osteotomy when performed with drilling bur versus piezo-electric instrument in the mandibular impacted third molar extraction, using a facial reconstruction software

Conditions

• Swelling/ Edema
• Impacted Third Molar Tooth

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Piezo-electric surgery of impacted lower third molars	During lower third molar surgery, osteotomy is performed using piezoelectric instrumentation. When necessary, tooth sectioning was performed with a high-speed tungsten carbide slit drill under saline irrigation and the tooth removed in single or multiple segments.
PROCEDURE	Rotary bur surgery of impacted lower third molars	During lower third molar surgery, osteotomy is performed using rotary instruments
