Impact of Nd:YAG Laser Photobiostimulation on Healing of Gingiva
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Wound Healing and Prevention, Oral Inflammation, Photobiomodulation, Post-operative Pain Management, Tooth Extraction Site Healing
In brief
The intervention in this study is to determine whether multiple applications of photobiostimulation with Nd-YAG laser improve wound healing following tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation. Investigators plan to assess the impact of laser treatment on wound healing by measuring salivary biomarkers, gingival wound size and surveying for the use of pain reduction and patient satisfaction. The intervention group will receive extraction and alveolar ridge preservation with Nd-YAG laser photobiostimulation on days 1, 3, and 7 following extraction and socket preservation, while the control group will receive the standard of care extraction and alveolar ridge preservation without the laser
