Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Healing time: To evaluate the duration of healing within the surgical site through direct observation and photography following diode lasers application. Timepoint: Measure each by use of Photographic Documentation. Record the data in days. During laser treatment, directly after laser treatment, 1st day, 3rd day, 7th day and 14th day after treatment. Method of measurement: Healing Index of Landry, Turnbull and Howley.;Swelling: Swelling will be assessed before and after treatment to evaluate patient satisfaction within a designated population at specific time intervals. Timepoint: Record the data in days. During laser treatment, directly after laser treatment, 1st day, 3rd day, 7th day and 14th day after treatment. Method of measurement: The assessing surgeon will use standardized questionnaires alongside photography and visual examinations.;Pain: Pain will be measured using the Wong–Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale to systematically assess patient-reported pain levels. To facilitate precise statistical evaluation, numerical values will be ascribed to the responses provided by patients upon completion of the scale. The scale corresponds to a numerical range, with 'No pain' being equivalent to zero, 'Very mild' to one, 'Discomforting' to two, 'Tolerable' to three, 'Distressing' to four, 'Very distressing' to five, 'Intense' to six, 'Very intense' to seven, 'Utterly horrible' to eight, 'Excruciating unbearable' to nine, and 'Unimaginable unspeakable' to ten. Timepoint: Record the data in days. During laser treatment, directly after laser treatment, 1st day, 3rd day, 7th day and 14th day after treatment. Method of measurement: Quantify patient-reported pain assessed by a standard questionnaire following diode lasers application and assigned times. (Wong–Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale). | — |
