Function points were defined in 1979 in Measuring Application Development Productivity by Allan Albrecht at IBM. The functional user requirements of the software are identified and each one is categorized into one of five types: outputs, inquiries, inputs, internal files, and external interfaces.
SWELLING: Swelling is a normal occurrence after surgery and will not reach its maximum until 2-3 days after surgery. It can be minimized by using a cold pack, ice bag or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel and applied firmly to the cheek adjacent to the surgical area. This should be applied twenty minutes on and twenty minutes off during the first 24 hours after surgery.
Avoiding to expose the tooth to stimulants that may trigger the pain is usually enough, and rarely an over the counter pain reliever will be needed, until the tooth sensitivity subsides. A tooth pain after filling will usually resolve without any special treatment within a few days or 1-2 weeks time. However, if you have extreme sensitivity and pain, or it continues for many weeks after the treatment you should contact your dentist. In these cases the persistent toothache after filling is more possibly an indication of a problem either with the filling or with the tooth itself.
