Comparing two doses of dexamethasone for dental implant pain
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a higher dose of dexamethasone (8 mg) works better than a lower dose (4 mg) for reducing pain after getting a single dental implant. It may help find the best way to manage discomfort after surgery.
