What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a pilot study evaluating the ability of the Temporo-masseteric Nerve Block local anesthetic injection (this was called the Twin Block earlier) to reduce pain experienced by individuals undergoing removal of lower third molar(s) under intravenous sedation. Study participants will be queried for pain experience and pain medications taken during the first post-operative week and will present for a follow-up visit on Day 8.
