Laser vs injection for mouth growths
Part of Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares laser treatment versus a special injection (sclerotherapy) to remove harmless but bothersome growths in the mouth called oral pyogenic granulomas. It may help you avoid surgery and reduce bleeding or discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need a diagnosed oral pyogenic granuloma (a small, red growth in the mouth that bleeds easily).
- The growth must be at least 5 mm (about the size of a pencil eraser).
- You must not have severe diabetes or kidney disease.
- You must not have a bleeding disorder or be allergic to the sclerosing agent.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a weakened immune system.

This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation therapy) combined with a hyaluronic acid gel can help your gums heal better after a gum reduction procedure. It may be a good option if you have swollen gums from long-term inflammation and are looking for a way to improve healing.
This study compares two treatment approaches—liquid fibrin (a clotting substance) and soft laser therapy—to help healing and prevent relapse after surgery to reduce a gummy smile caused by an overactive upper lip. The goal is to find which method works better for long-term results.
This study tests if a special laser therapy (photobiomodulation) helps people with oral submucous fibrosis open their mouths wider. It's for people who haven't had other treatments for this condition in the last three months.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe gum disease (periodontitis): one using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning, and the other using manual tools with ultrasonic cleaning. Both aim to reduce deep pockets and improve gum health without surgery.
This study tests whether a special light treatment (laser) plus a natural gel (hyaluronic acid) can help your gums heal better after a free gingival graft — a procedure to cover exposed tooth roots and increase gum tissue.
This study tests whether injecting special cells (called mesenchymal stromal cells) from a healthy donor into the mouth area can reduce scarring (fibrosis) and improve mouth function in people with systemic scleroderma. It may help make it easier to open your mouth and reduce daily discomfort.
