Summary
This study tests a less invasive surgical approach for treating persistent tooth infections. Instead of removing all infected tissue and using stitches, surgeons remove only part of the tissue and seal the area with a medical glue. The goal is to see if this method reduces pain, swelling, and other complications after surgery. Twenty-four adults with failed root canals are being followed for one year.
