The main objective of the study is to compare the effects of the piezoelectric surgery and the traditional technique on soft tissue edema in patients undergoing bilateral germectomy of mandibular third molars
The main objective of the study is to compare the effects of piezoelectric surgery and the traditional technique on soft tissue edema in patients undergoing bilateral germectomy of mandibular third molars. Post-operative swelling is analyzed using a photogrammetry facial scanner (Marathon MT-4000).
122 studies on the registry are indexed under Tooth, Impacted; 15 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 22 is below the median of 70 across 88 interventional studies indexed under Tooth, Impacted.

To compare the effectiveness of piezosurgery in reducing facial swelling using quantitative three-dimensional analysis ( volumes measured in cm3)
Time frame: Change from baseline (before surgery) at 2 day after surgery and at 7 days after surgery
Facial swelling quantitative analysis - linear differences
To compare the effectiveness of piezosurgery in reducing facial swelling using quantitative three-dimensional analysis (linear differences measured in cm2)
Time frame: Change from baseline (before surgery) at 2 day after surgery and at 7 days after surgery
Trismus analysis
To assess the effects of piezosurgery on trismus (measured in cm)
Time frame: Change from baseline (before surgery) at 2 day after surgery and at 7 days after surgery
Pain analysis with Visual analogue scale (VAS)
To assess the effects of piezosurgery on pain (measured by VAS-score from 0 to 10 point, with 10 as the worst outcome.
Time frame: Change from baseline (before surgery) at 2 day after surgery and at 7 days after surgery

Started Aug 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2025, 12 months after the start.
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 planned 12 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 56 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 34.
