Comparing two numbing techniques for lower tooth removal
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to numb the lower jaw for removing a back tooth: one blocks a small nerve near the cheek, the other blocks the main nerve trunk. The goal is to see which method works better and causes less discomfort.

This study compares two numbing methods for removing a lower wisdom tooth. One is an injection near the tooth and the other is a nerve block. It aims to see which works better and may be more comfortable.
This trial tests if warming the numbing medicine before injecting it into the jaw makes the numbing work better for people with a painful tooth infection. If you have a bad toothache in a lower molar and need a dental procedure, this study might help make the numbing more effective.
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 two common ways a dentist cleans and shapes the inside of a tooth during a root canal (the step-down technique vs. step-back technique) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. If you have a single-rooted tooth with a dead nerve but no infection at the tip, you may be able to join.
This study compares different numbing techniques for a root canal on lower baby molars in children aged 6 to 8. It aims to find which method works best and helps kids feel more comfortable during the 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.
