Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |

| 1. Pain measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) score on the first, third and seventh days after the operation 2. Swelling: distance from the outer canthus to the mandibular angle (I), the tragus to the mouth angle (II) and the tragus to the mandibular angle (III) measured using a tape measure, and the following formula was applied: (I + II + III)/3 (mm) at baseline and the first, third and seventh days after the operation 3. Mouth opening: distance between the tips of the upper and lower central incisors was measured using a Vernier calliper to evaluate the degree of mouth opening at baseline and the first, third and seventh days after the operation | — |
