NCT ID NCT07386366
First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether stitches coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) help wounds heal better and reduce bacteria after removing impacted wisdom teeth. Fourteen adults will have both sides of their mouth stitched—one side with coated stitches and the other with standard stitches—and be followed for a week. The goal is to see if the coated stitches lead to faster healing and fewer germs.
