Summary

This study tested whether applying cold atmospheric plasma to two types of stitches (silk and PTFE) could reduce pain, swelling, and mouth-opening problems after wisdom tooth removal.

Researchers measured pain, swelling, and quality of life before surgery and on days 2 and 7 after surgery.
