Laser therapy for faster healing after tooth extraction
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 study tests whether using a diode laser to clean the tooth socket right after removal helps a new dental implant heal better and faster. It is for people who need a front tooth replaced and want to have the implant placed in the same visit as the tooth extraction.
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 two different ways to help children heal after having a badly decayed tooth pulled. It compares using a special laser light versus a gel made from hyaluronic acid to see which works better for reducing pain and helping the area heal.
This study tests if a special ultrasound tool (called cavitation) can help your gums heal better after having two teeth pulled. It is for people who need two teeth removed from the same jaw.
This study compares a special low-level laser treatment to a saltwater rinse (saline) to see which helps the socket heal better after a baby tooth is pulled. If your child needs a baby molar removed, this might help them heal faster.
