Change in Oral Health-related Quality of Life
Evaluated by Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire (OHIP-14). The OHIP-14 scores can range from 0 to 56 and are calculated by summing the ordinal values for the 14 items. The domain scores can range from 0 to 8. Higher OHIP-14 scores indicate worse and lower scores indicate better Oral Health Related Quality of Life.
Time frame: Time Frame: 14 days
Change in pain
Postoperative pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from the absence of pain (score 0) to the most severe pain imaginable
Time frame: 7 days
Change in Mouth opening
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.
Time frame: 7 days
Operation time
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.
Time frame: Intraoperative
Change in facial swelling
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.
