Anesthetic comparison for wisdom tooth removal
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two numbing medicines, bupivacaine and ropivacaine, to see which works better for removing impacted lower wisdom teeth during general anesthesia. It may help determine which option provides better pain relief after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are healthy or have a mild medical condition (ASA I or II).
- You have at least one lower wisdom tooth that is partially or fully stuck (impacted) and both sides are similar in position.
- Your surgery cannot be done with just local numbing medication—general anesthesia is needed.
- You do not need any other procedures during the same surgery.

This study compares pain-medication approaches during and after removing at least one lower impacted wisdom tooth (a tooth that’s stuck). It may help find a safer or more effective way to control dental pain after surgery.
This study tests whether a lidocaine patch (a numbing patch) placed near the surgical site can help reduce pain after wisdom tooth removal. It's for people who need their lower wisdom tooth taken out and are generally healthy.
This trial compares two treatments, methylprednisolone and hyaluronic acid, given during wisdom tooth removal to see which one helps reduce pain and swelling afterward. You may participate if you need a special type of impacted wisdom tooth removed and are generally healthy.
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.
This study tests a new pain medication (LY4515100) in people recovering from wisdom tooth extraction surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces pain better than current options after the procedure.
