First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether special sponges placed in the tooth socket after extraction can stop bleeding faster and improve healing. Thirty adults who needed a tooth pulled took part. Researchers measured bleeding time, pain, swelling, and wound healing. The goal was to see if these sponges make recovery easier and reduce complications.
