This study tested two different mouth sprays to see which works better for pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness after removing impacted lower wisdom teeth. Forty adults each had both surgeries, receiving one spray after each. Neither patients nor evaluators knew which spray was used. The goal is to improve recovery after wisdom tooth surgery.
