Summary

This completed pilot study tested two different IV drug combinations used to sedate people during wisdom tooth removal. One combo used ketamine, the other used propofol instead. Researchers measured how quickly patients recovered, whether they remembered the procedure, and how satisfied both patients and surgeons were. The goal was to gather early data to design a larger, more definitive trial.
