|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Difference in perimeter of the dental socket after surgery; verified through direct measurement by caliper and comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) procedures.;Outcome found 1: no significant difference;Expected outcome 2: Difference in surgical time for wound closure; checked using a stopwatch and comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) procedures;Outcome found 2: statistically favorable result for glue.;Expected outcome 3: Difference in pain indexes, verified using a visual analog scale (from 0 to 9), comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) procedures;Outcome found 3: no significant difference;Expected outcome 4: Difference in suture dehiscence rates; verified through clinical examination and photographic record, comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) groups;Outcome found 4: statistically favorable result for glue.;Expected outcome 5: Presence of edema; verified through clinical examination and self-report of the volunteers, comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) groups;Outcome found 5: no significant difference;Expected outcome 6: Difference in the degree of hematoma; verified through clinical examination, comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) groups;Outcome found 6: no significant difference;Expected outcome 7: Difference in infection rate; verified through monitoring and clinical examination, comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) groups;Outcome found 7: no significant difference;Expected outcome 8: Presence of mandibular trismus; verified through clinical examination and self-report of the volunteers, comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) groups;Outcome found 8: no significant difference;Expected outcome 9: Presence of ulcer, verified through clinical examination, comparing test (glue) and control (conventional suture) groups;Outcome found 9: no significant difference;Outcome found 1: no significant diffe | — |
