Laser versus saltwater for healing after baby tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 6 years old.
- Your child has a badly decayed baby molar that needs to be removed.
- Your child is generally healthy, with no bleeding problems or other serious conditions.
- Your child must be cooperative during dental procedures.
- You can bring your child to follow-up visits after the extraction.
