Healing after tooth extraction: two treatment approaches
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 study tests if a special ultrasound tool (called cavitation) can help your gums heal better after having two teeth pulled. It is for people who need two teeth removed from the same jaw.
This trial studies how to care for a just-removed tooth’s socket in the front of the mouth, where appearance matters. It may help improve healing and stability by using socket treatments based on the amount of remaining bone.
This study compares three different mouth rinses (one with EDTA, one with chlorhexidine, and one with essential oils) after tooth extraction and bone grafting. It aims to find which rinse helps keep the area clean and promotes healing.
This trial tests a gel made from chitosan and chlorhexidine to see if it helps heal wounds faster after tooth removal in people with diabetes.
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 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.
