Comparing two treatments to reduce pain after wisdom tooth surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
