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 study compares three ways to reduce pain, swelling, and other issues after removing a lower wisdom tooth. It may help if you need this surgery and want to know which recovery method works best.
This trial tests whether a mouthwash with hypochlorous acid can help healing after impacted wisdom tooth removal. It may reduce discomfort and speed recovery.
This trial tests whether using saline (salt water) at different temperatures after wisdom tooth surgery helps with healing and pain. It could help you recover more comfortably.
This study compares two treatments applied to the socket (the hole left after a tooth is removed) to help it heal better. One treatment uses a product called microRepair, and the other uses chlorhexidine, a common antimicrobial rinse. The goal is to see which helps the extraction site heal faster and with fewer problems.
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.
