This study tests whether taking antibiotics after a simple tooth extraction can help prevent infections in people with autoimmune rheumatic diseases who are on immunosuppressive treatments. It aims to find out if antibiotics reduce complications and promote better healing in patients with weakened immune systems.
This trial tests whether alternative pain treatments can replace opioid painkillers after wisdom tooth or other tooth removal in teens and young adults. It aims to find safer ways to manage dental pain without relying on opioids.
This study tests whether using a special laser after a lower-jaw tooth extraction can help the socket heal faster and grow new bone. It may benefit people who plan to get a dental implant later.
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics before a bone graft procedure helps prevent infection better than a placebo. If you need a tooth pulled and a bone graft, you may be able to join.
This study tests if different antibiotics affect how well dental implants heal in the jaw. Participants need one or more implants in the back of the upper or lower jaw.
This study compares two treatments applied to the socket (the hole left after a tooth is removed) to help it heal better. One treatment uses a product called microRepair, and the other uses chlorhexidine, a common antimicrobial rinse. The goal is to see which helps the extraction site heal faster and with fewer problems.
