| Patient’s severity of pain was measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Timepoint: surgery day, two days after surgery and then one week after surgery. Method of measurement: This is a 100-mm ruler, which the patient marks the pain severity on it from zero (painless) to 100 (maximum pain). After receiving training, the patients expressed their severity of pain and recorded it in terms of cm.-.;Swelling To measure swelling, the distance of tragus to the corner of the lip and tragus to gonion[. Timepoint: surgery day, two days after surgery and then one week after surgery. Method of measurement: swelling, the distance of tragus to the corner of the lip and tragus to gonion[17] was measured by a standard cloth ruler, and these values were summed and divided by two to obtain the swelling mean in the surgery side in millimeter.-.;Trismus In order to assess the maximal mouth opening, patients opened their mouth straight so that they did not have jaw deflection, pain and discomfort. Timepoint: surgery day, two days after surgery and then one week after surgery. Method of measurement: Maximal mouth opening was recorded by measuring the distance between the incisal edges of the upper and lower central teeth using a coulisse ruler in millimeter. | — |
