ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial aims to compare three different types of sutures used in oral surgery, specifically for patients undergoing the removal of lower wisdom teeth. The researchers want to find out how well these sutures resist bacteria and how they affect healing in the mouth. The sutures being tested are silk, a type of strong plastic, and another special kind of plastic that is designed to be very smooth. By understanding which suture works best, the study hopes to improve recovery and reduce complications for patients after surgery.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for a specific type of wisdom tooth extraction that requires a certain surgical technique. Participants should be generally healthy, without serious medical issues or anxiety that would affect their surgery. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women and smokers cannot participate. If you join the study, you'll help researchers gather important information that could lead to better care for future oral surgery patients.
