Glue or chemical? study tests best way to stop bleeding after tooth surgery
NCT ID NCT07311291
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
