Single shot before wisdom tooth surgery could ease recovery

NCT ID NCT07450638

Summary

This study tested whether a single dose of a long-acting steroid given before wisdom tooth surgery helps reduce pain, facial swelling, and jaw stiffness afterward. Sixty healthy young adults having impacted lower wisdom teeth removed were randomly given either the steroid or a placebo before their procedure. Researchers then measured their pain levels, swelling, and jaw movement over several days to see if the pre-surgery medication improved their recovery.
