CPAP mask vs. nasal tube for breathing during molar extraction
Part of Ear, nose & throat, 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 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 trial tests whether combining mouth and throat exercises with a CPAP machine (a device that gently pushes air to keep your airway open while you sleep) can help people with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea breathe better at night. The study aims to see if this combination approach is effective and safe for you.
This study is testing if a dental device (mouthpiece that moves the lower jaw forward) can work as well as a CPAP machine for people with moderate sleep apnea. It might be a good option if CPAP is uncomfortable or you want an alternative.
This trial tests whether giving CPAP (a breathing mask) in the recovery room can help people with severe obesity breathe better after anesthesia. It may reduce the risk of lung problems after non-heart, non-chest surgery.
This study compares how two types of breathing masks (a full-face helmet and a nose-and-mouth mask) affect blood flow in the brain while using a breathing support machine (CPAP). The results may help doctors choose a more comfortable mask for patients with sleep apnea or other breathing problems.
This study compares how breathing through the nose versus mouth affects sleep, using both natural and medication-induced sleep. It may help people with sleep apnea understand their breathing patterns better.
