Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find lower levels of intraoperative bleeding on the experimental side, using the method proposed by the World Health Organization, based on the finding of 100% of the experimental sides showing no bleeding during the procedure;It is expected to observe minimal postoperative pain on the experimental side, using the Visual Analogue Scale, with an average of pain around 2.5 on the experimental side and 5.5 on the control side;It is intended to observe a faster degree of tissue repair on the control sides, through the 5 repair scores, ranging from 1 (very poor) to 5 (excellent), with total repair (score 5) 14 days after surgery;It is expected to observe a lower degree of temperature on the experimental sides, by means of infrared thermographic analysis, with an average of 30.5, while the average observed in the control group should be 35.5—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to confirm the effectiveness of the evaluation of tissue inflammation, using infrared thermography, with significant temperature differences (p <0.005) between the control and experimental sides—
