First seen Jun 10, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 10, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a long-lasting numbing medicine called Exparel (liposomal bupivacaine) can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after wisdom tooth removal. 85 adults having both lower wisdom teeth taken out took part. The medicine was given at the end of surgery, and patients rated their pain for four days. The goal was to see if Exparel provides better pain relief than standard care.
