Summary

This study compares a medical glue (cyanoacrylate adhesive) to traditional stitches for closing the wound after impacted wisdom tooth removal. About 23 adults with similar wisdom teeth on both sides will get one side closed with glue and the other with stitches. Researchers will then check pain, swelling, and healing to see which method works better.
