Effect of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma on Orthognathic Surgery Wound Healing: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Phase 4
Conditions
Healthy male and female participants between 20 and 35 years old who are planning to take orthognathic surgeries using bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy technique with rigid osteofixation will be included in this study. Postoperative wound healing and microbial accumulation around the wound will be studied.
