This study tests using a diode laser to treat the gum area right after removing a damaged front tooth and placing a new implant. It may help the healing process and improve how well the implant stays in place.
This study tests a bone graft material (OsteoGen®) placed in the tooth socket after extraction to help the bone heal and get ready for a dental implant. It may be right for you if you need a single tooth pulled and plan to get an implant.
This trial tests whether a special laser treatment can help your gums heal better after a tooth is removed and the socket is prepared for a future dental implant. If you're having a tooth pulled and bone preservation, this laser might speed up healing and reduce pain.
This study tests whether material from extracted teeth, combined with low-level laser treatment, can help bone heal better before dental implants are placed. The goal is to improve implant success and reduce bone loss after tooth removal.
This study tests whether a low-level laser (a gentle light treatment) can help your gums and jawbone heal better after your lower wisdom teeth are removed. It may reduce pain and speed up recovery.
This study tests whether a special laser or a gel (hyaluronic acid) can help children heal better and faster after having a badly decayed first permanent molar tooth taken out.
