SPECIFIC AIMS Using the UNC surgery clinic multi-modal protocol of drugs/dosages to control acute pain after third molar surgery assess each post-surgery day(PSD) the patient reported

pain levels post-surgery as recorded by Likert-type and Gracely scales
quality of life(QOL) outcomes for lifestyle and oral function
number of opioid doses taken by subject-patients
number of NSAID and acetaminophen doses taken by subject-patients.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Procedure

The patient is asked to complete the diary each post-surgery day for 14 days. Recovery is organized into three QOL domains: lifestyle, oral function, and pain.

Primary outcomes

The impact of the surgery on the patient's post-surgery pain.

Time frame: 14 days

Likert scales for average pain and worst pain are assessed with 7-point scales with verbal anchors of "no pain" and "worst pain imagined".

Recovery for pain on the Likert scales is defined as the number of PSD until the patient reports a score of 1 or 2 on the 7-point scale.
