The Tbaseline measure is made just before surgery.
Trismus
((T-Tbaseline)/Tbaseline)*100
Where T = A measure of maximum mouth opening in mm ; T evaluates trismus.
The Tbaseline measure is made just before surgery.
The occurrence of complications
The occurrence of at least one complication among the following with at least one of the 4 teeth:
Hemorrhage: occurrence of continuous or intermittent bleeding from the socket immediately after extraction of the wisdom tooth or later on
Infection: occurrence of purulent discharge, a collection of pus or cellulitis at the surgical site
Dry alveolitis: presence of an empty socket with a whitish, atonal bone, giving off a foul odor and very sensitive
Suppurative alveolitis: presence of granulomatous tissue, bleeding and pus in the socket. The latter are accompanied by pain, trismus, low-grade fever, and regional lymphadenopathy.
For the experimental arm: good flap healing? (ie no attachment loss at the second molar) (per tooth).

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to evaluate postoperative pain (measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) on day 2 post surgery) in patients operated for avulsion of four wisdom teeth under general anesthesia and for whom the resulting alveoli were NOT sutured versus a similar group of patients undergoing standard care (suturing for lower alveoli).
Detailed Description
The secondary objectives of this study are to compare the following between the two study arms:
A. Pain at day 31 B. Operative time C. Edema D. Trismus E. The occurrence of complications F. Alveolar flap healing G. The impact of smoking on the occurrence of complications H. The consumption of analgesics and use of local pain remedies I. Impact on quality of life
