ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how different temperatures of saline (a saltwater solution) affect pain after having wisdom teeth (also called third molars) removed. The researchers want to see if using either warm or cold saline can help reduce discomfort for patients after their surgery. The trial is currently looking for volunteers to participate, specifically healthy adults between the ages of 21 and 49 who have been diagnosed with asymptomatic wisdom teeth that need to be extracted.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be in good overall health, not have any significant medical conditions, and should not be pregnant or have any allergies. They will need to attend follow-up appointments and provide consent before joining. If you decide to participate, you'll receive either warm or cold saline during your surgery, and the team will monitor your pain levels afterward. This study could help improve recovery experiences for future patients undergoing similar procedures.
