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 needs to be removed with a small surgery (excisional biopsy).
- 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.

This study tests whether a quick-drying glue (cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive) helps the roof of your mouth heal better after a gum graft than a traditional collagen sponge. It may reduce pain and speed recovery for people needing this type of periodontal surgery.
This study compares using skin glue versus traditional stitches to close the wound after skin cancer removal. It aims to see if skin glue is as effective and safe, potentially making healing easier for patients.
This study looks at how well a small gum graft taken from the roof of your mouth heals and how it feels for you. It aims to understand recovery after this common dental procedure.
This trial compares different ways to protect the roof of your mouth after a small tissue graft is taken to cover exposed roots or gum recession. It aims to find which method reduces pain and helps healing.
This trial tests a surgical technique to repair small to medium-sized tissue defects in the floor of the mouth using a flap from nearby muscle and bone lining. It aims to improve healing and function after removing tumors or other lesions.
This trial compares two ways of closing small cuts on the face: special sticky strips or traditional stitches. The goal is to see which method patients like better and which one leaves a nicer-looking scar.
