This study compares two different ways of closing the gum after removing an impacted wisdom tooth. The goal is to see which method leads to less pain, swelling, and faster healing.
This trial compares two types of dissolving stitches (sutures) used after wisdom tooth surgery to see which works better. It may help your mouth heal faster with fewer problems.
This study tests stitches coated with chlorhexidine (a germ-killer) to see if they reduce infection and help the gums heal better after removing an impacted lower wisdom tooth. It compares the coated stitches with regular stitches in the same person.
This study tests whether a gel with chlorhexidine and hyaluronic acid helps wounds heal better after wisdom tooth removal. If you're getting a partially impacted lower wisdom tooth out, this might help you heal faster and with less discomfort.
This study compares different mouthwashes to see which one helps healing after wisdom tooth surgery. If you have a lower wisdom tooth that is impacted (stuck) and need it removed with some bone cutting, you may qualify.
This study tests whether using platelet-rich fibrin (a substance made from your own blood that helps healing) put into the socket after wisdom tooth removal can reduce pain, improve healing, and shrink the deep pocket behind the next tooth. It may help protect that tooth from future gum problems.
