Comparison of piezosurgery and conventional rotatory technique in transalveolar extraction of mandibular third molars: A pilot study.

Objectives: To compare the postoperative outcomes in impacted mandibular third molar extraction using piezosurgery and conventional rotary technique; and to assess the stress levels in both the techniques by measuring salivary cortisol levels.

Methods: Ten patients with symmetrical impacted lower third molars were included in this split mouth pilot study. Measurements for mouth opening and swelling were taken preoperatively on the day of surgery and 1 week after surgery.
