Summary
This study looked at 72 adults with a painful tooth condition called irreversible pulpitis. During a dental procedure to remove the infected pulp, researchers tested whether rinsing the tooth with a dexamethasone solution or cold saline could reduce pain afterward. The goal was to find a simple way to make recovery more comfortable.
