This trial compares two versions of a numbing medicine (articaine) to see which causes less pain during dental work on upper front teeth.
This study tests two different numbing medicines in people with high blood pressure who need a single upper tooth pulled. The goal is to see which one works better and keeps heart activity stable during the procedure.
This study compares two numbing methods for severe tooth pain (pulpitis) in a lower first molar. If you have a tooth that needs a root canal and the pain lingers after cold, this trial may help determine which anesthetic works better for you.
This study compares different injection spots for a new device that helps numb lower back teeth before root canal treatment. If you need a root canal on a lower molar or premolar, you may be able to help find the best spot for the numbing shot.
This trial compares two common numbing medicines, lidocaine and articaine, for simple tooth removals. It aims to see which works better for pain control and is a good choice for patients needing this dental procedure.
This study tests whether using a smaller amount of a numbing medicine (articaine) works as well as the usual amount for numbing the area before removing a lower back tooth. It aims to make the procedure more comfortable and efficient.
