Tissue adhesive vs sutures for closing oral biopsy wounds

Official title: Comparison of Tissue Adhesive and Surgical Sutures for Wound Closure After Oral Excisional Biopsies: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Run by Damascus University · NCT07654166 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether a tissue adhesive called PeriAcryl 90 HV can close oral biopsy sites as effectively as traditional sutures in people with oral fibromas.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with oral fibromas on labial or buccal mucosa requiring excisional biopsy, without pregnancy, anticoagulant use, infectious diseases, immunosuppression, uncontrolled diabetes, or medications affecting healing.

Probably not a fit

Patients with conditions or medications that impair wound healing or increase infection risk may not benefit from the adhesive approach.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this randomized trial, adults with oral fibromas undergo excisional biopsy and are assigned to close the wound with either PeriAcryl 90 HV tissue adhesive or nylon 4-0 sutures. The primary goal is to compare wound closure performance between the adhesive and sutures in the oral cavity, including ease of use and healing outcomes. The study aims to determine if the adhesive offers a practical alternative that may reduce procedural time and avoid suture removal. 28 participants (14 per group) are planned, with assessments of healing and complications following closure.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience faster closure, less discomfort, and no need for suture removal.

How similar studies have gone: Previous wound-closure studies outside the oral cavity have shown promise for tissue adhesives, but direct evidence in oral biopsy sites is limited.
