CPAP mask vs. nasal tube for breathing during molar extraction
Part of Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to help you breathe during deep sedation for a molar extraction: a CPAP mask over your nose or a small tube placed in your nostril. The goal is to see which method keeps your oxygen levels more stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You need to have a molar tooth removed that is impacted (stuck under the gum).
- The surgery is expected to take between 20 minutes and 1 hour.
- You are in good health (rated ASA I or II by your doctor).
- Your BMI is 30 or less.
- You do not have asthma, COPD, or other serious lung problems.
- You do not have a condition that severely blocks your nasal passages.

This trial tests a special oxygen mask that fits inside the nose for people who breathe through their mouth after surgery. It may help you get enough oxygen while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
This study tests a breathing tube put through the nose to deliver oxygen during a lung exam (bronchoscopy) while you are deeply sedated. It aims to find a safer and more comfortable way to keep your oxygen levels up during the procedure.
This study compares two common treatments for moderate sleep apnea: a custom mouthpiece that gently advances your jaw, and a CPAP machine that blows air to keep your airway open. The goal is to see which treatment works better for improving sleep and daytime symptoms.
This study tests whether combining CPAP with special mouth and tongue exercises can improve sleep apnea better than CPAP alone. It is for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have not tried CPAP before.
This study compares two types of dental mouthpieces used to treat sleep apnea. Participants will temporarily stop using their current mouthpiece for two weeks to see how they do without it.
This trial tests two different hand techniques for holding a face mask during general anesthesia. It aims to find which method works better for helping patients breathe, and may be relevant for anyone having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
