Healthy volunteers
Accepted
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged between 14 and 24 years, with both lower third molars in the developmental stage (with incompletely formed roots) and requiring extraction of both for prophylactic, therapeutic or strategic reasons * Good quality of radiographic investigations (CBCT) * Good health status

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Facial swelling qualitative analysis — Change from baseline (before surgery) at 2 day after surgery and at 7 days after surgery
    To compare the effectiveness of piezosurgery in reducing facial swelling using qualitative three-dimensional analysis (measured by colorimetric variation given by the overlapping volumes)
  • Facial swelling quantitative analysis - volumetric differences — Change from baseline (before surgery) at 2 day after surgery and at 7 days after surgery
    To compare the effectiveness of piezosurgery in reducing facial swelling using quantitative three-dimensional analysis ( volumes measured in cm3)
  • Facial swelling quantitative analysis - linear differences — Change from baseline (before surgery) at 2 day after surgery and at 7 days after surgery
    To compare the effectiveness of piezosurgery in reducing facial swelling using quantitative three-dimensional analysis (linear differences measured in cm2)
