Summary

This study tested whether placing a gelatin sponge in the tooth socket after removing an impacted wisdom tooth reduces swelling better than stitches alone. Sixty people aged 18-30 took part. Swelling was measured from the jaw angle to the lip corner. The goal is to improve patient comfort and safety after surgery.

Active substance
Gelatin Sponge Sheet
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to reduce swelling and improve comfort after wisdom tooth removal.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is a minor addition to a routine procedure, so the impact is likely modest.
