Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain. Timepoint: 2 and 7 days after intervention. Method of measurement: VAS(Visual Analogue Scale ).;Swelling. Timepoint: 2 and 7 days after intervention. Method of measurement: Swelling is measured using the reference points (lower abdomen of the lobe of the ear to the corner of the mouth and the lateral edges of the eye to the mandible corner), through a flexible ruler (a dial pad for a more accurate measurement of the curved areas) and the vignette. The caliber is made up of a combination of a dial pad and a movable veneer. The vernier ruler has two antennas, small tentacles for measuring the inside diameter and large tentacles for measuring the external diameter of the objects). Will be evaluated.;(Trismus). Timepoint: 2 and 7 days after intervention. Method of measurement: The Trismus value will be measured by measuring the maximum distance between the two maxillary and maxillary maxillary incisors by the ventricular calcium.
