Testing triclosan-coated stitches for wisdom tooth surgery healing
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares how well wounds heal after removing impacted wisdom teeth using stitches coated with triclosan (a germ-fighting agent) versus regular stitches. It aims to see if coated stitches reduce bacteria and improve healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares using a medical glue (cyanoacrylate) versus stitches to close the gum after removing impacted wisdom teeth. It may help reduce pain and speed up healing.
This trial compares using a scalpel versus an electrocautery device to make the incision when removing an impacted lower wisdom tooth. The goal is to see which method leads to less pain and faster healing.
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 compares three different types of stitches used after removing a lower wisdom tooth. The goal is to see which type causes less bacteria buildup, less irritation, and better 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.
