Abstract We conducted this study to assess the effect of ultrasound osteotome on surgical site wound infection and pain following removal mandibular wisdom teeth. A computerised search Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Wanfang China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases for publicly available randomised controlled trials (RCTs) clinical effects applying extract teeth was from inception September 2023. Two researchers independently screened retrieved results literature screening, quality assessment data extraction. RevMan 5.4 software applied analysis. total 17 RCTs were included in study, including 848 cases group 842 control group. The analysis revealed, compared with group, showed a significantly lower incidence postoperative (1.42% vs. 5.46%, odds ratio [OR]: 0.30, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.17–0.53, p < 0.0001), fewer complications (6.35% 22.12%, OR: 0.23, CI: 0.17–0.32, 0.00001), shorter operative time (standardised mean differences [SMD]: −1.30, −1.97 −0.64, = 0.0001) scores (SMD: −2.26 CI −2.80 −1.73, 0.00001). Strong evidence suggests that is more advantageous terms infection, less pain, conventional treatment methods, but large‐scale, multicentre are still needed obtain accurate results.
