Which anesthetic is better for pulling wisdom teeth?

NCT ID NCT07108465

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two local anesthetics, bupivacaine and ropivacaine, in 15 healthy adults having wisdom teeth removed under general anesthesia. Each person will get one drug on each side of their mouth to see which provides better pain control, less bleeding, and more stable vital signs. The goal is to find out if one drug is more effective for this type of surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
bupivacaine and ropivacaine
What this could lead to
If one drug works better, it could mean less pain and bleeding after wisdom tooth surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-phase study with only 15 people, so results may not apply widely. Both drugs are already used safely, so no major new risks are expected.
