Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate mean differences in clinical parameters related to inflammatory events (pain). Pain will be assessed using the visual analogue scale,in which a reduction in pain is expected in the intervention group compared to the control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the impact of topical anesthetic use in reducing patient anxiety before puncture with the local anesthesia needle and evaluate scar repair, as well as the impact on quality of life. The measurement of the outcome related to anxiety will be carried out using the HAD Scale - assessment of the level of anxiety and depression. The measurement of the outcome related to scar repair of the alveolus will be carried out using a caliper, in which, at 24h, 72h and 7-day follow-ups, two measurements will be taken: buccolingual (d) and mesiodistal (D) of the surgical wound , in order to observe the healing process. Such measurements will be made in triplicate, then obtaining an arithmetic average to which the following formula will be applied, in order to obtain the area: (A= p. d. D/4). To assess quality of life, each patient will receive a questionnaire to answer: Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), which basically focuses on negative effects. Regarding all these outcomes, more favorable scores are expected in the intervention group compared to the control group. | — |
