NCT ID NCT06927726
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at which local anesthetic works better and is safer for people with high blood pressure who need a tooth pulled. Sixty adults with controlled hypertension will get either articaine with epinephrine or mepivacaine without epinephrine. Researchers will measure pain, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels during the procedure to find the best option.
