NCT ID NCT07330518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two ways to numb the cheek and gum before removing lower back teeth. One method numbs the main nerve trunk, the other numbs smaller branches. Researchers will measure pain during the procedure and whether extra numbing shots are needed. The goal is to find which method works better for 100 adults aged 20 to 60.
