Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Piezosurgery

Patients needing lower third molar surgery, in which the osteotomy is performed by the use of a piezo-electric instrument

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Piezo-electric surgery of impacted lower third molars

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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.

Conventional bur

Patients needing lower third molar surgery, in which the osteotomy is performed by the use of a drilling bur

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rotary bur surgery of impacted lower third molars

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

During lower third molar surgery, osteotomy is performed using rotary instruments
