- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Buccal fat pad will remain in the TMJ with minimal shrinkage after 6 months hence preventing re-ankylosis. <br/ ><br>Maximum interincisal distance/mouth opening will be more in buccal fat pad group. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>Timepoint: maximum interincisal distance comparison at 6 months. <br/ ><br>Re-ankylosis at 6 months. <br/ ><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. To evaluate the maximum inter-incisal opening between the two groups. <br/ ><br>2. To evaluate the post-operative complications(reankylosis, esthetics and facial nerve weakness).Timepoint: 6 months after surgery.;Edema by measurement using Schultze Mosgau et al technique <br/ ><br>S1: from tragus of ear to corner of mouth. <br/ ><br>S2: from tragus of ear to soft tissue pogonion. <br/ ><br>S3: From Lateral canthus of eye to the angle of mandibleTimepoint: edema measured at baseline, 1 day post-op, 10 days post-op;maximum interincisal mouth opening using a rulerTimepoint: baseline, 1 day post -op, 10 days post-op and 6 months post-op;Pain on the 1st 10 days using Visual Analogue scale (1-10)Timepoint: 1-10 days
