NCT ID NCT07185620

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested two methods for removing impacted lower wisdom teeth: a piezoelectric device that uses ultrasonic vibrations, and a conventional rotary drill. Fifty adults were randomly assigned to one method, and researchers measured pain, swelling, mouth opening, and quality of life for a week after surgery. The goal was to see which technique leads to a smoother recovery.

Active substance

Piezoelectric device vs conventional rotary drill

What this could lead to

If the piezoelectric method proves better, it could become a preferred technique for reducing pain and swelling after wisdom tooth surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The difference between methods might be small or not clinically meaningful.
