What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effects of piezoelectric surgery and traditional surgical techniques on post-operative soft tissue swelling in patients undergoing the removal of lower third molars. Participants will be assessed using a photogrammetry facial scanner to evaluate facial swelling after the procedures. The study focuses on patients aged 14 to 24 years who require extraction of both lower third molars due to various reasons. The goal is to determine which technique results in less post-operative edema.
