Summary

This study tested two different materials—surgical glue and ferric sulfate—to control bleeding during root-end surgery in 34 patients with infected tooth roots. Researchers measured how well each agent stopped bleeding, how much pain patients felt afterward, and their quality of life for a week. The goal is to find which option leads to a smoother recovery.
