ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to remove impacted lower third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, using an erbium laser. The study will compare the effectiveness of this laser technique to traditional methods of extraction. Researchers will evaluate various factors like healing and recovery through clinical exams, x-rays, and blood tests after the procedure.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 25 and 50 years old and have a wisdom tooth that needs to be removed. You must also be in good health and have no major dental issues like infections or gum disease. If you join the study, you will receive either the laser treatment or the traditional method, and you'll be monitored closely to see how well each technique works. It's important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so it will start soon. If you're interested, be sure to discuss it with your dentist to see if it's a good option for you.
