Popis:	The use of microwaves has been shown to be a satisfactory method for the heating of tissues. The swelling and trismus which followed odontectomy were measured in 35 patients who underwent odontectomy on both sides of the jaw, with one side acting as a control and the other side in the same patient receiving microwave diathermy treatment. An externally applied, penetrating and focusable heat helps to alleviate swelling and trismus which follow third molar odontectomy.
