Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of piezoelectric surgery on postoperative pain, comfort and patient satisfaction 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 pain and increasing comfort and patient satisfaction in impacted third molar surgery? Pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and patient satisfaction was measured with functional evaluations conducted on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days.

Oral Complication

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Postoperative pain with Routine and Piezoelectric Surgery

  The primary outcome measure is postoperative pain with Routine and Piezoelectric Surgery in bilateral impacted third molar. Postoperative pain is assessed using the numbered and visual pain scale. Patients are asked to mark the pain they felt on the scale days after the operation.

  The postoperative outcomes including pain are clinically assessed at different-time intervals (6th and 12th hours after the operation, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th days after the operation).

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Chewing, Swallowing and Speaking Functions with Routine and Piezoelectric Surgery

  The postoperative outcomes including chewing, swallowing and speaking are clinically assessed at different-time intervals (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th days postoperative days).

Study Arms (2)
