Tooth Extraction Site Healing

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to assess whether BCP (Biphasic Calcium Phosphate) improves alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in patients who need tooth extraction. The main question it aims to answer is whether using BCP for alveolar ridge preservation has a positive effect on bone volume compared with natural healing. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does BCP improve ridge preservation compared with natural healing? Researchers will compare BCP grafted sockets to natural healing sockets to see if BCP better preserves ridge volume. Participants will: Have a tooth indicated for extraction. Be assigned to either BCP or natural healing. Undergo CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) and intra-oral scanning after extraction and after six months of healing to measure horizontal and vertical resorption and bone density.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to assess whether β-TCP (Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate) improves alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in patients who need tooth extraction. The main question it aims to answer is whether using β-TCP for alveolar ridge preservation has a positive effect on bone volume compared with natural healing. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does β-TCP improve ridge preservation compared with natural healing? Researchers will compare β-TCP grafted sockets to natural healing sockets to see if β-TCP better preserves ridge volume. Participants will: Have a tooth indicated for extraction. Be assigned to either β-TCP or natural healing. Undergo CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) and intra-oral scanning after extraction and after six months of healing to measure horizontal and vertical resorption and bone density.

Tooth extraction leads to a substantial reduction in alveolar bone volume, with up to 25% loss within the first year and up to 40-60% within three years. This prospective randomized clinical study aims to compare four commonly used methods of alveolar ridge preservation, evaluating their effectiveness in maintaining bone volume for later prosthetic or implant rehabilitation. Alveolar dimensions will be measured using calibrated CBCT imaging pre-extraction and at six months post-extraction.

The goal of this study is to evaluate bone wound healing following extraction and alveolar ridge preservation (bone graft and membrane) clinically, histologically and in relation to gene expression in smokers and non-smokers. Data from a small group of participants will be analyzed after age-matched subjects undergo extraction and alveolar ridge preservation prior to implant placement. The data obtained in this pilot study will be used to plan a full-fledged study involving a larger number of smoking and non-smoking participants to compare the two groups.

The main purpose of the study is to measure and localize immediate post extraction changes i.e. socket expansion versus no width change along the socket wall and identify whether the immediate post-extraction ridge width condition (expansion or no change) is a determinant of buccolingual ridge width and height changes 4 months following extraction and ridge preservation.

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

Tooth extraction may be an unpleasant and painful experience for children, Post-extraction wound healing. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a widely used adjuvant treatment for wound healing, resulting in both an increase in cell number and an increase in cell metabolism. HA it is an important component of the extracellular matrix and a constituent of the neural, connective, and epithelial tissues.
