Summary

This randomized clinical trial was designed to assess the clinical efficacy of Pulsed electromagnetic field PEMF delivered with a wearable device in terms of postoperative pain and quality of healing after mandibular third molar extraction.

The sample included 120 patients undergoing unilateral mandibular third molar extraction. The devices were positioned over the area corresponding to the extraction site and wearers were asked to keep them in place for 7 days. All patients were asked to record pain (on a visual analog scale \[VAS\]), hours of wearing the device (groups T and P), and any use of analgesics. At 7 days, healing complications (dehiscence, tumefaction, pus, local lymphadenopathy, pain on palpation, postoperative bleeding, alveolitis) were recorded blindly.
