Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain: post-operative pain will be measured by Visual Analog Scale. In this scale, the patients will be asked to show the intensity of the pain which is experienced by choosing a number(between 0-10) on a horizontal line. Pain in this descriptive scale is categorized to 6 levels: 0= no pain, 1-3= mild pain, 4-5= moderate pain, 6-7= painful, 7-8= sever pain and 10= unbearable pain. The paitients will be asked to report the pain score on its worst severity time on a day. Timepoint: Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day. Method of measurement: Visual Analog Scale.;Edema: the severity of post-operative edema will be measured by the pre-operative difference between the two fixed mandibular angle and lip commissure points on the patients' face and the post-operative one. Timepoint: Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day. Method of measurement: The pre-operative difference between the two fixed mandibular angle and lip commissure points on the patients' face and the post-operative one (in milimeter).;Trismus: will be measured post-operatively. for this purpose the inter-incisal distance will be measured. if the distance is less than 25 milimiter, the presence of trismus will be considered. Timepoint: Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day. Method of measurement: the maximum inter-incisal distance (in milimeter).;Wound dehiscence: to a dehiscence more than 1.5 centimeter square, number 3, less than 1 centimeter square, number 2 and less than 0.5 centimeter square, number 1 will be assigned. in case of no dehiscence number 0 will be considered. Timepoint: Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day. Method of measurement: the amount of post-operative wound dehiscence (in centimeter square).;Alveolar osteitis: will be considered post-operative pain in or around the socket of the extracted impacted tooth or partial/total loss of the blood clot in the socket (yes or no
