Summary

This study tests whether a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine and hyaluronic acid helps gums heal better after wisdom tooth removal. Fifty-four healthy adults who need wisdom tooth surgery will use the mouthwash, and doctors will check their healing over two weeks. The goal is to see if this combination reduces wound problems and improves recovery.
