Gum and bone healing after wisdom tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if removing a wisdom tooth helps the gum and bone behind the nearby second molar heal better. It may be relevant if you need a lower wisdom tooth taken out.

This trial tests a regenerative gel placed in the socket after wisdom tooth removal to improve healing. It may reduce pain, swelling, and speed up recovery.
This study looks at how removing an impacted upper wisdom tooth affects gum health. It may help people who need this tooth removed and do not have advanced gum disease.
This trial tests whether placing a collagen membrane after wisdom tooth removal helps the nearby second molar heal better. If you have impacted lower wisdom teeth on both sides, this study may compare healing with and without the membrane.
This trial tests if a gel containing chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and hyaluronic acid (a moisture-retaining substance) helps your gums heal better after having a lower wisdom tooth removed. It's for people whose wisdom tooth is only partly through the gum, so the wound can't be fully stitched closed.
This study compares different mouthwashes to see which one helps healing after wisdom tooth surgery. If you have a lower wisdom tooth that is impacted (stuck) and need it removed with some bone cutting, you may qualify.
This trial tests a special bone filler (beta-tricalcium phosphate) placed in the socket after impacted lower wisdom teeth are removed. The goal is to see if it helps the bone heal better than not using it.
