Comparing gum closure methods after wisdom tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 study is testing three different types of stitches used after wisdom tooth removal. By comparing which stitches cause less bacteria and heal better, the goal is to find the safest, most comfortable option for patients.
This trial compares two ways of making the cut (incision) when removing an impacted lower wisdom tooth: using an electric cautery tool versus a traditional scalpel blade. It aims to see which method leads to less pain, swelling, and faster healing after surgery.
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 trial tests whether placing a collagen membrane after wisdom tooth removal helps the nearby second molar heal better. If you have impacted lower wisdom teeth on both sides, this study may compare healing with and without the membrane.
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.
