Glue vs stitches for mouth growth removal
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares using a skin glue (tissue adhesive) versus stitches (sutures) to close the small wound after removing a harmless growth inside your mouth. It may help reduce discomfort and healing time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a noncancerous growth called an oral fibroma on your lip or inside your cheek.

- The growth must be bigger than 3 mm but smaller than 3 cm.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not take blood-thinning medications (like warfarin or daily aspirin).
- You do not have an active infection like hepatitis or HIV, and you do not take immune-suppressing medications or have uncontrolled diabetes.
