- Title
Letter to the Editor, "Cannabinoids and Acute Dental Pain".
- Authors
Mozaffari, M.S.
- Abstract
This letter to the editor responds to a report that suggests cannabidiol (CBD) can be an effective pain reliever for acute dental pain. The author raises concerns about the study's limitations, including the lack of consideration for previous reports that found cannabinoids to be ineffective for dental pain. The author also questions the duration of patients' painful conditions and the timing of CBD treatment. Additionally, the author points out inaccuracies in the data presented and the absence of a positive control group. The letter cautions against using this report to advocate for the use of cannabinoids for acute pain, as the majority of evidence suggests otherwise. The author of the letter is M.S. Mozaffari.
