Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare piezosurgery and conventional surgery in impacted third molar surgery and to determine its effect on postoperative outcomes and quality of life.

Description:

The aim of our study is to comparatively evaluate the duration of the operation and the pain, trismus, edema and healing of the alveolar bone that occur after tooth extraction in surgical extractions of impacted lower third molar teeth using piezosurgery and traditional rotary instruments.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Oral Health-related Quality of Life	Evaluated by Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire (OHIP-14). The OHIP-14 scores can range from 0 to 56 and are calculated by summing the ordinal values for the 14 items. The domain scores can range from 0 to 8. Higher OHIP-14 scores indicate worse and lower scores indicate better Oral Health Related Quality of Life.	Time Frame: 14 days
Secondary	Change in pain	Postoperative pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from the absence of pain (score 0) to the most severe pain imaginable	7 days
Secondary	Change in Mouth opening	The distance between the mesio-incisal corners of the upper and lower central incisors was measured with the help of a ruler when the mouth opening was at its maximum.	7 days
Secondary	Operation time	The total time from the first incision of the operation site to the last suture was measured with the help of a digital stopwatch as the operation time.	Intraoperative
Secondary	Change in facial swelling	With the technique described by Neupert ; Angle of mandible-tragus Angle of mandible-lateral canthus of eye Mandible corner-nose wing Angle of mandible oral-commissures Measurements were made with a tape measure from 5 points, with the mandible corner-pogonion.	7 days
