Summary

The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of piezoelectric surgery and traditional rotating device in reducing perioperative sequelae after impacted mandibular third molar surgery in 56 subjects. Ni All subjects were randomly allocated to receive one treatment.

Detailed description

The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of piezoelectric surgery and traditional rotating device in reducing perioperative sequelae after impacted mandibular third molar surgery. Fifty-six patients who needed surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar were selected for the study. All subjects were randomly allocated to receive one of the following surgical treatments piezoelectric surgery (n = 28), traditional surgery with rotating device (n = 28). The primary outcome was postoperative pain, evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) score at baseline, 1, 2, 5, 7, 10 and 14 and 28 days following surgery. The secondary outcomes chosen were changes in postoperative swelling and maximum mouth opening values compared to preoperative ones.
