Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Postoperative pain: The pain will be measured by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) containing color scale, face scale and pain level, which varies from 1 to 10. The patients will be guided to measure the pain in 8-hour intervals during the first 72 hours after the surgical procedure. Swelling: The swelling will be assessed by metering some reference points in the patient's face. The following reference points will be measured: a)Distance from the angle of the mandible to tragus; b)Distance from the angle of the mandible to lateral palpebral commissure; c)Distance from the angle of the mandible to ala of the nose; d)Distance from the angle of the mandible to labial commissure of mouth; The quantification of swelling will be characterized by the ratio between the values obtained in 24, 48 and 72 hours of the postoperative period and the basal values. Trismus: The trismus will be measured by the interincisal distance, in milimeters, during the maximum mouth open. This measure will be assessed by a calibrated digital pachymeter, using the incisal border of the left central incisors (superior and inferior) as reference. The trismus will be determined by the difference between the basal value and the values obtained in the 24, 48 and 72 hours of the postoperative period. | — |
