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.
