Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The degree of displacement of the Temporomandibular Joint Condyle on the X-axis. Timepoint: On the first day after surgery before and after the intervention and then on the 7th day after surgery (end of the intervention period). Method of measurement: By Sonography and MATLAB program.;The degree of displacement of the Temporomandibular Joint Condyle on the Y-axis. Timepoint: On the first day after surgery before and after the intervention and then on the 7th day after surgery (end of the intervention period). Method of measurement: By Sonography and MATLAB program.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Maximum mouth opening. Timepoint: On the first day after surgery before and after the intervention and then on the 7th day after surgery (end of the intervention period). Method of measurement: Use caliper that is calibrated in millimeter.;Intensity of pain. Timepoint: On the first day after surgery before and after the intervention and then on the 7th day after surgery (end of the intervention period). Method of measurement: Use Visual Analogue Scale.
