Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the laser works to improve wound healing and bone regeneration after tooth extraction. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does laser therapy improve wound healing and bone regeneration after tooth extraction?
Researchers will compare a laser to sham laser therapy to see if the laser enhances wound healing and bone regeneration.
Participants will:
Have exposure to laser or sham laser therapy immediately after tooth extraction Record their pain intensity on days 2, 4, 6 and 14 Visit the clinic after 10 days for follow-up Again, visit the clinic after 4 months for evaluation
