Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of the study will be the assessment of pain before and after third molar extractions using the visual analogue scale (VAS) composed of a score from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain, 1 to 3 mild pain, 4 to 6 moderate pain and 7 to 10 the worst possible pain. O The patient will report the intensity of pain he is feeling at the time of assessment using the VAS scale (HAMID, 2017; SAMPAIOFILHO et al., 2018; HOSSEINPOUR; TUNER; FEKRAZAD, 2019; KEYHAN et al., 2019; SINGH et al., 2019; ISOLAN et al., 2020; DOMAH et al., 2021; LODI et al., 2021; MOMENI et al., 2021). The application of the VAS scale will be before the surgical intervention, right after the suture, 24 hours, 48 ??hours and on the seventh postoperative day by an external examiner. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As a secondary outcome, the evaluation of edema will be carried out by the method of edema coefficients at different points (measured distance from the outer corner of the eye to the gonium and from the ear tragus to the labial commissure, using a measuring tape) (SINGH et al., 2019; DOMAH et al., 2021). O edema will be measured prior to the surgical intervention and also verified soon after the suture, 24 hours, 48 ??hours and on the seventh day after surgery by an external examiner. The formula for the coefficient of edema is the subtraction between the distance after and before surgery. The result is divided by the distance before surgery and the acquired number is multiplied by one hundred (SINGH et al., 2019). Another secondary outcome will be the application of the quality of life questionnaire using the 14-item Impact Profile on Oral Health (OHIP- 14), which is composed of questions related to personal well-being factors, such as functional, psychological, social and health experience factors. pain and discomfort. The OHIP-14 response format is: Always = 4; Often = 3; Almost always = 2; Sometimes = 1; Never = 0 (DUARTERODRIGUES et al., 2018; ABRAMOVITZ et al., 2021; LARSEN et al., 2021). The OHIP-14 score will be calculated as the sum of all 14 questions, ranging from 0 to 56 points, in the scoring system, the higher the OHIP-14 score, the greater the impact on the quality of life of the the lower the OHIP-14 score, the lower the impact on quality of life (DUARTE-RODRIGUES et al., 2018; ABRAMOVITZ et al., 2021; LARSEN et al., 2021). This assessment will be applied before the surgical intervention, right after the suture, 24 hours, 48 ??hours and in the seventh postoperative day by an external examiner. | — |
