Laser or gel to help healing after tooth extraction in children
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two different ways to help children heal after having a badly decayed tooth pulled. It compares using a special laser light versus a gel made from hyaluronic acid to see which works better for reducing pain and helping the area heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares different biomaterials (artificial materials that work with your body) placed in the socket after a tooth extraction to see which one works best for healing. You would need to have a non-molar tooth removed and be willing to let researchers track how well different materials help your mouth heal.
This study tests if a special gel combined with bone graft material helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, preparing the area for a dental implant. It aims to compare this treatment with standard care to see if it leads to better bone healing.
This study tests two different materials used to preserve the bone and gum after a tooth is removed in the upper front area. The goal is to see which one helps maintain a natural-looking result for a future dental implant.
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.
