Follow-up of inflammation signs of patients: redness (A), pain (B), swelling (C), and loss of function (D) from the control group (non-chitosan sockets) and the experimental group (subjected to the application of chitosan). Redness was examined through the color of the oral mucosa; pain intensity was recorded using VAS; the shape of the face/mandibular angles was inspected for swelling evaluation; and loss of function was determined if the patient had restriction of the range of motion of the jaws.
