Chlorhexidine-coated stitches for wisdom tooth removal
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
