Study name Piezoelectric vibrations and tissue, cellular and molecular mechanisms of oral wound healing after third molar surgery
Methods Interventional (clinical trial)
Participants 40 participants
Interventions Randomised cross‐over/piezosurgery
Outcomes Primary outcome measures:
  • SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity in alveolar bone specimen (time frame: immediately after surgery). Activity of enzyme superoxide dismutase in bone specimens obtained during lower third molar surgery

  • VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) levels in alveolar bone specimen (time frame: immediately after surgery)

  • MMP‐9 (matrix metalloproteinases) level in alveolar bone specimen (time frame: immediately after surgery)
