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

Summary

This study tested whether using cold saline (0-4°C) instead of room-temperature saline during wisdom tooth removal reduces pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness. Fourteen healthy adults with two impacted wisdom teeth had one tooth removed with cold saline and the other with room-temperature saline. Researchers measured pain, swelling, and a blood marker of inflammation to see which temperature works better.
