Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main objective of the study is to compare the effects of piezoelectric surgery and the traditional technique on soft tissue edema in patients undergoing bilateral germectomy of mandibular third molars. Post-operative swelling is analyzed using a photogrammetry facial scanner (Marathon MT-4000).
