Abstract

In group A (no flap), there was no significant diference between MID0 and MID5; however MID1 was significantly lower than MID0. In groups B and C (flap), the difference between MID0 and MID1 was more marked, and in addition MID5 remained significantly lower than MID0. Neither MID0 nor MID5 differed significantly between group B (flap, no ostectomy) and group C (flap plus ostectomy). The proportion of group A subjects reporting analgesic use was significantly lower than the corresponding proportions in groups B and C on both day 1 and day 5, and again there were no significant differences between groups B and C.
