Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are systemically healthy individuals aged 14-40 years who require the extraction of bilaterally impacted third molars.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with systemic diseases, bleeding disorders, or advanced infections associated with the impacted tooth may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) irrigation during the surgical extraction of impacted third molars to assess its effectiveness in reducing intraoperative blood loss and postoperative edema. TXA is a hemostatic agent that can be applied topically to minimize systemic absorption and potential side effects. The study will involve patients who are systemically healthy and require the extraction of bilaterally impacted third molars with bone retention. By comparing outcomes with and without TXA irrigation, the study aims to provide insights into its safety and efficacy in dental surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce bleeding and improve recovery outcomes for patients undergoing wisdom tooth extraction.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown success with TXA in other surgical contexts, but its application in dental extractions is novel and untested.
