| Operating time in minutes (intra-operative Time) - Outcome is assessed at the end of surgery no followup.Timepoint: Time start point: Start of incision Time End Point: Removal of the impacted tooth. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Need for Rescue AnalgesicsTimepoint: The number of rescue analgesics (paracetamol 650mg) taken by the patient during the follow-up period will be recorded.;Post Operative OdemaTimepoint: Oedema will be assessed by measuring two linear references with silk thread: between the corner of the mouth and tragus; between the lateral canthus and the angle of the mandible. This outcome was calculated as the sum of the two linear references.;Post Operative PainTimepoint: Using 10 point Numerative rating scale (NRS) with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain imaginable, the pain will be assessed on day 3 and day 7;Post Operative TrismusTimepoint: Trismus will be measured by measuring interincisal distance preoperatively, postoperative day 7 using a digital Vernier calliper | — |
