About this study
Official title: Piezoelectric Versus Conventional Surgical Approaches in Third Molar Removal: A Focus on Pain, Comfort, and Patient Satisfaction
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.
- Conditions
- Oral Complication
- Being tested
- conventional surgery, piezoelectric surgery

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: 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
Starting from the first day of the operation until the 7th day when the stitches are removed, the patients mark their subjective complaints about their quality of life on the forms by giving them scores between 0 and 5, considering their chewing, swallowing and speaking functions. (Patient Evaluation Form) These forms are evaluated and the patients' satisfaction with their quality of life is measured in the post-operative period.
Measured: 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).

What does the primary outcome measure?
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).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
