Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Oral Health-related Quality of Life

    Time frame: 14 days

    Evaluated by OHIP-14

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in pain

    Time frame: 7 days

    Postoperative pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from the absence of pain (score 0) to the most severe pain imaginable

  2. Change in Mouth opening

    Time frame: 7 days

    The distance between the mesio-incisal corners of the upper and lower central incisors was measured with the help of a ruler when the mouth opening was at its maximum.

  3. Operation time

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    The total time from the first incision of the operation site to the last suture was measured with the help of a digital stopwatch as the operation time.

  4. Change in facial swelling

    Time frame: 7 days

    With the technique described by Neupert ;

    • Angle of mandible-tragus
    • Angle of mandible-lateral canthus of eye
    • Mandible corner-nose wing
    • Angle of mandible oral-commissures
    • Measurements were made with a tape measure from 5 points, with the mandible corner-pogonion.
