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.

This study tests whether a special laser treatment can help nerves in the jaw heal faster after a common type of jaw surgery. If it works, it could reduce numbness and tingling in the face, lips, and chin.
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 tests whether a low-level laser (a gentle light treatment) can help your gums and jawbone heal better after your lower wisdom teeth are removed. It may reduce pain and speed up recovery.
This study tests whether adding low-level laser therapy (a light treatment) to standard cleaning helps heal gum infections around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It's for people with a specific implant infection who are otherwise healthy.
