Clinical Trial Summary

Third molar surgery is complicated by pain and swelling for several days after surgery. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs have been useful in combination with opioids for treatment. Nicotine has antiinflammatory and pain relieving properties. We will use nicotine or placebo as a nasal spray before surgery to determine whether nicotine affects pain or inflammation.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized double blind cross-over study. In each of two sittings, the third molars on one side of the mouth are removed. In one sitting the subject will receive a nicotine nasal spray (3mg) and in the other placebo. VAS and narcotic utilization will be compared within patients. ;
