Laser therapy to help gums heal after tooth extraction
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special laser treatment can help your gums heal better after a tooth is removed and the socket is prepared for a future dental implant. If you're having a tooth pulled and bone preservation, this laser might speed up healing and reduce pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using a special laser after a lower-jaw tooth extraction can help the socket heal faster and grow new bone. It may benefit people who plan to get a dental implant later.
This study tests whether material from extracted teeth, combined with low-level laser treatment, can help bone heal better before dental implants are placed. The goal is to improve implant success and reduce bone loss after tooth removal.
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.
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.
