Tooth extraction healing in older adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the mouth heals after a tooth is removed in older adults. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery after tooth extractions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a back tooth (molar or premolar) removed.
- You do not have any health conditions or take any medicines that could slow down healing.
- You are a non-smoker.

This study looks at how well the mouth heals after a tooth is taken out and bone-preserving treatment is done, comparing smokers to non-smokers. It may help improve care for people who smoke and need dental implants.
This study looks at how your jawbone changes after a tooth is pulled and a bone graft is put in. If you need a single tooth removed and have good general health, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a curcumin (turmeric) spray applied to the extraction site after removing a lower molar, to see if it helps the wound heal faster and better. If you're a healthy adult having this tooth pulled, you might be able to join.
This study looks at how gum (periodontal) inflammation affects the body’s immune response during wound healing after a tooth is taken out. You might be considered because you need a molar or premolar extraction where the tooth cannot be repaired.
This study looks at how age affects healing after a tooth is removed and replaced with a bone graft using Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a natural substance from your own blood that helps healing. It may help you if you need a molar removed and plan to get an implant later.
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.
