Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Oral Health-related Quality of Life | Time Frame: 14 days | Evaluated by Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire (OHIP-14). The OHIP-14 scores can range from 0 to 56 and are calculated by summing the ordinal values for the 14 items. The domain scores can range from 0 to 8. Higher OHIP-14 scores indicate worse and lower scores indicate better Oral Health Related Quality of Life. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in pain | 7 days | Postoperative pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from the absence of pain (score 0) to the most severe pain imaginable |
| Change in Mouth opening | 7 days | The distance between the mesio-incisal corners of the upper and lower central incisors was measured with the help of a ruler when the mouth opening was at its maximum. |
| Operation time | Intraoperative | The total time from the first incision of the operation site to the last suture was measured with the help of a digital stopwatch as the operation time. |
| Change in facial swelling | 7 days | With the technique described by Neupert ; Angle of mandible-tragus Angle of mandible-lateral canthus of eye Mandible corner-nose wing Angle of mandible oral-commissures Measurements were made with a tape measure from 5 points, with the mandible corner-pogonion. |
