First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares four ways to close the gum after removing an impacted wisdom tooth: standard stitches, leaving the wound open, placing a small drain, or using medical glue. The goal is to see which method causes the least pain, swelling, and difficulty opening the mouth. About 148 healthy adults aged 18-40 are being recruited.
