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.
