Piezoelectric Surgery Versus Conventional Osteotomy in Impacted Lower Third Molar Extraction: Evaluation of Perioperative Anxiety, Pain, and Paresthesia

Purpose Piezoelectric surgery is a safe and effective osteotomy technique that can decrease the perioperative complications and morbidity in oral-maxillofacial surgery. In this study, we compared piezoelectric surgery and a conventional rotatory technique in the removal of impacted lower third molars. Our primary endpoints were perioperative anxiety, pain, and postoperative discomfort while avoiding the drilling sound of the conventional...
