Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate trismus or mouth opening limitation assessed by the difference between linear measurements in mm of the distance between the upper and lower incisors measured by means of a digital caliper in the preoperative period and then 48h and 7 days postoperatively. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the percentage of facial edema measured by means of three straight measurements between anatomical points of the face: Auricular Tragus - labial commissure; tragus - corner of the eye and angle goníaco -corner of the eye. The measurements were made using a flexible measuring tape and the measurements were expressed in mm in the preoperative periods, 48 hours and 7 days after surgery. ;Evaluate postoperative pain using a visual analog scale (VAS) measured in mm by annotating a 10cm constant line of the participant's postoperative diary and by total tablets analgesic consumption | — |
