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.
If in doubt or if bleeding goes on for more than a few hours, contact your dentist. To keep the clot undisturbed, aftercare in the first 24 hours after tooth extraction should include: What you do in the first 24 hours are very important in terms of fast healing. Avoid hot drinks, and take small sips when drinking fluids. Do not use a straw (the resultant suction pressure can dislodge a clot).
