Impacted third molar surgery is the procedure most done in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the postoperatif pain, edema, trismus and patient satisfaction between Er: YAG laser surgery, piezo surgery device and conventional bur surgery that are used to extract impacted lower third molar. In our study, 30 patients with bilateral impacted lower third molars in Class 2, position B, vertical position according to the Pell and Gregory criteria were selected. Patient randomly divided into two groups. In all patients one side the bony cover around the tooth were removed by the conventional bur technique on the other side half of patient treated with the Er: YAG laser and others treated with piezo surgery. Postoperative 48th hours trismus value was seen the most high in laser group than in conventional bur surgery and least in piezosurgery group. Due to intraoperative and postoperatif comfort, the patients who were treated with impacted lower third molar procedure, were statistically most satisfied with laser technique. Piezosurgery technique was also satisfied but it was not significant. In the conventional bur surgery, the operation time found shorter due to the relative cutting efficiency than laser group and piezosurgery group. Piezosurgery technique was faster when compared with laser technique.As a conclusion if the speed of hard tissue laser and piezoelectrical device were increase their capacity, they may be considered as a good alternative to conventional surgical bur in routine use.
