Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain intensity in two situations: spontaneous pain and pain during function. Timepoint: Immediately after the intervention, after 2 weeks and after 1 month. Method of measurement: The visual analogue scale (VAS) is rated from 1 to 10. 1-3 is classified as mild pain, 4-6 is moderate pain, and 7-10 is severe pain.;Maximum mouth opening. Timepoint: Immediately after the intervention, after 2 weeks and after 1 month. Method of measurement: By ruler in millimeters from Maxillary Incisor teeth to Mandibular Incisor teeth.;Latrusive movement. Timepoint: Immediately after the intervention, after 2 weeks and after 1 month. Method of measurement: By a ruler in millimeters, which is measured as the maximum movement of the dental midline of the Mandible relative to the dental midline of the Maxilla.;Protrusive movements. Timepoint: Immediately after the intervention, after 2 weeks and after 1 month. Method of measurement: by a ruler in millimeters, which is measured as the maximum movement of the dental midline of the mandible relative to the dental midline of the maxilla.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The degree of rotation of the occlusal plan relative to the SN axis. Timepoint: Registered during orthognathic surgery. Method of measurement: By ruler in mm.;The amount of mandible advancement or set back during orthognathic surgery. Timepoint: Registered during orthognathic surgery. Method of measurement: By ruler in mm.
