Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Participants in both groups must be over 18 years of age, and only extraction of their posterior maxillary teeth—excluding third molars—will be performed for inclusion in the study. All individuals with moderate to severe opioid addiction, as determined by the DSM-5 questionnaire, are eligible for inclusion in the control group. Pregnant women may participate only if they are in the second trimester and possess medical consultation approval. If a patient presents with an abscess, drainage will be performed and, if antibiotic therapy is required, tooth extraction will be postponed until infection resolution. If the patient has periodontitis, extraction will be carried out only after appropriate antibiotic and periodontal therapy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with severe periapical inflammation—without abscess formation but with marked tenderness to percussion—will be excluded from the study. Patients with bleeding disorders will be excluded. Patients undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy will be excluded from the study. Postmenopausal women are excluded due to the naturally increased sensitivity to pain stimuli. Patients with herpetic lesions will not be included until complete healing has occurred. Patients whose tooth extraction requires surgical procedures, as well as those who have taken antihistamines within 8 hours or NSAIDs within 6 hours prior to the appointment, will be excluded. Patients requiring surgical tooth extraction will be excluded from the study. Additionally, those in the first or third trimester of pregnancy, patients with diabetes, and individuals with debilitating or uncontrolled systemic diseases will not be included.
