Stitches or glue? small study tests better way to close mouth cuts
NCT ID NCT07491276
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PDO Knotless Barbed Suture, N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Glue (PERIACRYL), 3/0 Resorbable PGA Suture
- What this could lead to
- If one method works better, it could mean less pain and faster healing after oral surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Both methods are already used, so no big breakthrough is expected.
