What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS)

    The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) consists of 5 questions each with a 5 category rating scale, ranging from 'not anxious' to 'extremely anxious'. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and MDAS was recorded before each operation.

    Time frame: baseline, pre-surgery

  2. Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS)

    The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) consists of 5 questions each with a 5 category rating scale, ranging from 'not anxious' to 'extremely anxious'. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and MDAS was recorded before each operation.

    Time frame: immediately after the surgery

  3. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score

    A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales between 1-10. VAS value was recorded (at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours on day 1 and on days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) after each extraction.

    Time frame: 0-7 days

  4. Facial Edema

    Measurement between facial cach extraction.raniometric points (angulus-lateral canthus, tragus-labial commissure, and tragus-pogonion). The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and edema was measured before, 2 days after and 1 week after each operation.

    Time frame: 0-7 days

  5. Mouth Opening Measurements

    Mouth opening measurements is the distance between the incisals of the patient's central teeth at maximal mouth opening.The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and mouth opening was measured before, 2 days after and 1 week after each operation.

    Time frame: 0-7 days

  6. Blood Pressure

    Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure was measured with a manual sphygmomanometer.The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and blood pressure was measured before and after each operation.

    Time frame: baseline, pre-surgery

  7. Blood Pressure

    Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure was measured with a manual sphygmomanometer.The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and blood pressure was measured before and after each operation.

    Time frame: immediately after the surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Oxygen Saturation

    Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much hemoglobin is currently bound to oxygen compared to how much hemoglobin remains unbound. Oxygen saturation were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and oxygen saturation was measured before and after operation.

    Time frame: baseline, pre-surgery

  2. Oxygen Saturation

    Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much hemoglobin is currently bound to oxygen compared to how much hemoglobin remains unbound. Oxygen saturation were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and oxygen saturation was measured before and after operation.

    Time frame: immediately after the surgery

  3. Pulse Rate

    The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. Pulse rate were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and pulse rate was measured before and after operation.

    Time frame: baseline, pre-surgery

  4. Pulse Rate

    The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. Pulse rate were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and pulse rate was measured before and after operation.

    Time frame: immediately after the surgery
