ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new approach to placing dental implants immediately after a tooth is extracted. The goal is to see how well these implants work in terms of stability and bone health when compared to traditional methods. Some participants will receive implants with a special low-level laser treatment, while others will not. This trial aims to find out if the laser treatment helps improve the outcomes for patients who need dental implants.

To participate in this study, candidates must be adults aged 65 to 74 with at least one tooth that needs to be removed. They should not have any infections in the implant area, significant medical issues, or be heavy smokers. Participants can expect to have their dental implants placed soon after tooth extraction and will be monitored for how well the implants integrate into the bone and how much bone loss occurs around them. It's important to know that patients will need to give their consent to participate and will be informed about the study thoroughly.
