Gum and bone healing after wisdom tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.

This study tests a special bone-filling material that may help the jawbone heal better after wisdom tooth removal. It compares healing on both sides of the mouth in people who need both lower wisdom teeth 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 tests a special bone-healing material placed after wisdom tooth removal to help the bone recover better. It may lead to faster or more complete healing of the tooth socket.
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 study tests whether a gel with chlorhexidine and hyaluronic acid helps wounds heal better after wisdom tooth removal. If you're getting a partially impacted lower wisdom tooth out, this might help you heal faster and with less discomfort.
This study tests whether using a patient's own blood products can help bone heal better after removing a wisdom tooth. It may help reduce the gap left behind and protect the nearby molar.
