OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of cyanoacrylate (tissue glue) placement after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars were studied in this controlled clinical trial. One side closure after surgical removal of third molar was done with conventional sutures and other side with cyanoacrylate. RESULTS: The data analysis showed that postoperative bleeding with cyanoacrylate method was less significant than with suturing on the first and second day after surgery. There was no significant difference in the severity of pain between the two methods. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that the efficacy of both, cyanoacrylate and suturing in wound closure were similar in the severity of pain, but use of cyanoacrylate showed better hemostasis.
