New study finds better numbing for painful tooth procedures
NCT ID NCT07506265
First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested whether injecting one of three drugs (dexamethasone, diclofenac sodium, or chymotrypsin) into the gum before a standard numbing shot could make dental treatment for severe toothache more comfortable. 105 men with a painful tooth condition called irreversible pulpitis took part. The goal was to see if these drugs reduce the need for extra numbing shots and improve pain control during the procedure.
