New gum surgery technique aims to cut pain and swelling
NCT ID NCT07353580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.

- Active substance
- Selective curettage and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a less painful and faster-recovering surgical option for persistent tooth infections.

- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is still experimental and may not improve healing over standard methods.
