First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of using an anti-inflammatory drug (ketorolac) during root canal treatment: one at room temperature and one chilled. The goal is to see if the cold version reduces pain better after the procedure. Sixty adults with tooth infections will be enrolled, and pain levels will be measured using a standard pain scale.
