The present study aims to analyze the effect of the piezoelectric technique in third molar surgery in terms of facial swelling, trismus and pain in a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial
The present study aims to analyze the effect of of the piezoelectric technique n third molar surgery in terms of facial swelling, trismus and pain in a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial. Facial swelling will be assessed using an innovative three-dimensional digital technique.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Ran from Jul 2023 to primary completion in Jan 2025, 18 months.
Of 55 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Tooth, Impacted, half reached primary completion within 20 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 35. This study's 18 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 56 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 34.
