Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of piezoelectric surgery on postoperative edema, trismus and other postoperative complications (Wound Healing, Bleeding, Infection, Alveolitis, Paresthesia) with conventional bur method applied in surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. The main question it aims to answer is: Is piezoelectric surgery effective on reducing the edema, trismus and other postoperative complications (Wound Healing, Bleeding, Infection, Alveolitis, Paresthesia) in impacted third molar surgery? Postoperative edema measurements are determined at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days using the flexible ruler method. Trismus is determined by measuring the interincisal distance. Statistical analyses are performed to compare the two surgical methods.
