Comparing pain and swelling after two types of endodontic microsurgery
Postoperative Symptoms Following Endodontic Microsurgery Performed by Piezoelectric Osteotomy Versus Conventional Osteotomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study is testing whether patients who have endodontic microsurgery feel less pain and swelling after using a traditional method compared to a newer technique.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare postoperative pain, swelling, and quality of life in patients undergoing endodontic microsurgery using either conventional osteotomy or piezoelectric osteotomy. A total of 44 adult patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two techniques, and their postoperative experiences will be assessed through a standardized pain questionnaire at multiple time intervals. The study will be conducted at the postgraduate clinics of the Department of Conservative Dentistry at Jordan University of Science and Technology, with ethical approval obtained from the institutional review board. Participants will receive treatment free of charge, and their travel expenses for follow-up visits will be compensated.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are non-smoking adults aged 18-65 with periodontally healthy teeth.
Not a fit: Patients with active systemic diseases, poor prognosis teeth, or those who are emotionally distressed may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved postoperative outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing endodontic microsurgery.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific comparison of piezoelectric versus conventional osteotomy in endodontic microsurgery may be novel, similar studies in other surgical fields have shown promising results with piezoelectric techniques.
