Evaluating Laser Therapy to Improve Healing and Bone Growth After Tooth Extraction

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating whether laser therapy can improve wound healing and bone regeneration after tooth extraction. This clinical trial compares the effects of an active laser treatment versus a sham inactive laser to determine if the laser enhances recovery in dental sockets. The goal is to better understand the role of laser therapy in dental healing processes, with careful monitoring over one year. Participants will receive a combination of low-level laser therapy LLLT and high-intensity laser therapy HILT immediately after tooth extraction. The LLLT uses a 300-micron tip at 0.5 watts in a scanning motion just above the tissue, while the HILT is applied directly to the blood-filled extraction socket at 2 watts in continuous mode. The control group will receive sham laser therapy with the device turned off but otherwise identical treatment. During the study, participants will record their pain levels on days 2, 4, 6, and 14 after extraction. They will visit the clinic for a follow-up at 10 days and again at 4 months for evaluation. Researchers will assess wound healing and bone regeneration over one year. The trial includes safety monitoring and long-term assessment of laser effects on dental socket recovery.
