Study Overview
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.

Arms & Interventions
30 patients in the piezoelectric surgery group
Intervention: piezoelectric surgery (Procedure)
30 patients in the conventional surgery group
Intervention: conventional surgery (Procedure)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Postoperative pain with Routine and Piezoelectric Surgery
Time Frame: 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).
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.
Secondary Outcomes
- 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).)
