New ultrasonic tool may ease pain after wisdom tooth removal
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.
What this could mean

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.
