Summary

This study looked at whether using facial ice packs (cryotherapy) after removing impacted wisdom teeth helps with pain, swelling, and recovery. Twenty people had both lower wisdom teeth taken out in one visit; one side got ice packs and the other did not. The side treated with ice had less pain, shorter pain duration, and less need for rescue pain medication.
