Summary

This study tests two newer ways to close cuts inside the mouth after removing a damaged tooth: special self-anchoring stitches and a medical glue. Thirty adults will be randomly assigned to one of these methods or to standard stitches. The goal is to see which approach is faster, causes less pain, and leads to better healing.
