First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares four types of stitches used after minor oral surgery to see which ones cause the least pain and discomfort. Sixty adults will receive all four suture materials in different parts of their upper jaw and report their experiences over two weeks. The goal is to help dentists choose materials that improve patient comfort and healing.
