This study looks at how drinking alcohol affects dental pain relief. It involves 70 adults with tooth issues, split into two groups: drinkers and non-drinkers. Each will get a shot of medicine called lidocaine (a local anesthetic that numbs the area) in their lower molars. If it hurts during treatment, patients will rate the pain on the Heft-Parker (HP) scale, a tool to measure pain, where lower scores mean less pain. The treatment is successful if pain is below 55 on this scale.
Key Points:
- This study is done at the Faculty of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia.
- Participants must be able to understand and rate their pain levels.
- Patients should not have active pain in more than one tooth or certain medical conditions.
