Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Confidence with the pre- and post-operative information

  1. prior to surgical removal of a mandibular third molar

• Confidence with the pre- and post-operative information

  Confidence with the pre- and post-operative information with the pre- and postoperative information will be assessed by validated questionnaire

  Confidence with the pre- and post-operative information will be assessed prior to and immediately after surgical removal of an mandibular third molar
