ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of two different types of breathing support—either a nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) mask or a nasal airway—during deep sedation for patients having impacted molars removed. The goal is to find out which method provides better comfort and safety during and after the dental procedure, as well as to see how satisfied both patients and dentists are with the different options.

To participate in this study, you should be an adult between 18 and 60 years old, scheduled for tooth extraction that will take between 20 and 60 minutes. You should be generally healthy with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less. If you meet these criteria, you can expect to be randomly assigned to one of the two breathing support methods. The study aims to make dental procedures under sedation safer and more comfortable, especially for those who may have fears or anxieties about dental work. Your participation could help improve future dental care for others.
