Light therapy for pain relief after dental root surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special light treatment, called photobiomodulation, can help reduce pain and speed up healing after a specific type of dental surgery on the root of a tooth. The surgery involves a small cut in the gum, and the light may help the gum recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be in good overall health (ASA I or II).
- You must be having root-end surgery on at least one tooth.
- The surgery must use a gum flap that includes a vertical releasing incision (a specific type of cut).
- You cannot be a heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes per day).
- You cannot have uncontrolled diabetes or other serious health problems that slow healing.
- You cannot be pregnant or have an active infection or swelling at the surgery site.

This study compares two types of medication placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain and swelling better. It may help people with a dead nerve in a back tooth who have no current pain but have an infection around the root.
This study tests whether shining a special light on your gums after standard cleaning can help treat gum disease better. Researchers will compare light therapy combined with standard treatment versus standard treatment alone to see if it reduces gum pocket depth and improves healing.
This study tests a special light therapy called photobiomodulation to see if it can reduce pain during routine dental care in children. It may offer a safe, non-drug way to help kids feel more comfortable at the dentist.
This study tests a special light therapy (called LED) to help reduce pain and swelling after wisdom tooth removal. It is done at Huashan Hospital and aims to see if this light can help you heal faster and feel better after surgery.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) can help treat infection and inflammation around dental implants without surgery. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate peri-implantitis who don't smoke and have healthy gums otherwise.
This study tests a home-use light therapy that kills bacteria to treat inflammation around dental implants. If you have implant-related gum disease, this could help reduce bleeding and swelling without needing extra clinic visits.
