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 a computer-guided technique to move a nerve in the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed in areas with thin bone. It looks at whether this procedure causes any numbness afterward.
This study tests two non-surgical treatments for painful jaw joints: low-level laser therapy and a set of jaw exercises called Rocabado's approach. It aims to see if these can improve your ability to open your mouth and reduce pain.
This study tests whether shining a low-level laser on the neck can reduce nerve pain (tingling, numbness, or electric shock feelings) that some people get after neck dissection surgery. Pain relief from this treatment could make daily life more comfortable.
This study tests three different wavelengths of low-level laser (light) therapy to see which one works best for chronic muscle-related jaw pain. If you have had jaw pain for more than 3 months and haven't found relief from other treatments, this study may offer a new option.
This study compares two types of laser treatment to see which is better at reducing pain from trigeminal neuralgia. It may help people whose pain is not controlled by medication or who cannot have surgery.
